Benefits of Pre-arrangement

Pre-arrangement: The Thoughtful Decision 

Those who plan ahead find arranging their own funeral and cemetery or cremation services --before need-- is one of the most thoughtful acts they could do for their family.

We plan for every aspect of life. Having a family, vacations, weddings, retirement-all are planned. We prepare for what might happen such as fires, accidents and floods. But, because most of us do not like to think about death - we avoid making important funeral decisions in advance.

All of the ceremony, burial, or cremation arrangements can be made at one time in one of our locations or in the comfort of your own home. You can even begin the process on-line.

Why should you preplan?
Life is more complicated now than ever! Family members live in different parts of the country, dealing with government agencies can be frustrating, and inflation is felt by every household. Planning ahead prevents emotional overspending and protects your family's interests. Four reasons to plan ahead:

• Your Family - Making decisions today lets you make logical, well thought out plans which your family will appreciate.
• Securing benefits - Millions of dollars in governmental death benefits go unclaimed each year. It is important for you to be aware of how to protect your potential benefits from Social Security, Veterans' Administration, or Medicaid.
• Peace of Mind - Arranging today, before the death, is handling a family matter. Arranging at the time of death is dealing with a family crisis. Planning ahead…you have true peace of mind knowing you have taken care of everything. 
• Personalized Service - The type of service chosen varies with each person, but one thing is constant: a service provides a focal point for remembering your life. It also provides emotional value for your family and loved ones into the future.

Planning your funeral arrangements in advance can offer you and your family a number of benefits:

Financial Benefits

• The Prepayment Option – When you prepay, you can lock in today’s prices. Our funeral director will explain each payment method and investment option available, and will help you make a decision that best suits you and your family 
• Your Family Keeps More – When you prepay, your estate will owe nothing on funeral expenses. More of your assets and life insurance proceeds will go directly to your family 
• Fewer Last-minute Expenses – When you plan in advance, your family is less likely to incur additional expenses at the time of the funeral.

At Larry Taylor Funeral and Cremation Services, our Directors strive to make every service personal, unique and special; a tribute for each family to treasure.
