Why Preplan?

Thinking about your own funeral leaves most people feeling a little uneasy, but more adults are finding that preplanning a funeral offers great emotional and even financial security for them and their families. With preplanning, families find comfort in knowing that the funeral reflects what their loved one wanted. It also gives them peace of mind to not have to make important decisions at a stressful time.

Advantages & Security of Pre-Arranging

• Allows you to express your wishes for a personalized service.
• Allows you time to make plans and have a clearer perspective, rather than a time of making choices under a difficult and stressful time.
• If you wish, a Pre-Arrangment allows your family to have input.
• Your plan should have flexibility because circumstances in your life may change.
• Pre-Arranging helps insure a financial responsibility is not placed on your family
• Allows you to purchase a guaranteed price contract.

The personalization of Pre-Arranging

By pre-arranging you can select from a number of options which match your personality. Such as:

• Pastor, Priest, or other Persons who are to speak at your funeral
• Music
• Casket
• Place of the Service (chapel, church, or grave side)
• Type of vault or outer burial container
• Place of Interment

Questions to Ask About Pre-Arranging

• Is your contract flexible?
• Is it inflation proof or guaranteed price?
• Is it revocable or irrevocable and which is best for me?
• Can I receive my funds back if my situation changes and I wish to use another funeral home?

Riverwood Family Funeral Services also offers cremation as an alternative to the traditional burial.  Choosing cremation however, does not limit your options to have a visitation and funeral/memorial service.  A casket can be purchased or rented for this service, and Riverwood Family Funeral Services also has a selection of urns that can be purchased.
