FAQ

Aren't funeral service providers all the same?
Service, quality and value can vary widely among funeral providers. Pre-planning a funeral allows you to research different providers in advance so you can be comfortable with their services, expertise, facility and ability to accommodate your specific desires. If you fund your pre-planned funeral, you'll want to make sure your preneed funds are secure and held in trust or used to purchase an insurance policy from a third-party provider.
Can a funeral be personalized?
Yes. Whether the ceremony is elaborate or simple, today's funerals are often individualized to reflect the life lived. You can personalize a funeral service by incorporating music, photos, mementos, decorations, catering and more to reflect the unique accomplishments, passions, hobbies or activities that characterized the life of the decedent.
Can cremated remains be divided?
Yes. You may choose to have cremated remains divided, scattering some and burying the rest. Or you may choose to bury or scatter some of the remains and divide the rest among family members. Small urns called "keepsake" urns are available to hold small portions of cremated remains.
Can cremated remains share the same grave space with a casketed burial?
It really depends on the specific cemetery's policy and applicable state law. You may be able to have your cremated remains buried on top of the casket of your spouse, for example, or utilize the space next to him or her. Some cemeteries allow for multiple containers of cremated remains to be interred in a single grave space for an additional charge.
Can we still have a funeral service if cremation is chosen?
Absolutely. Regardless of whether you choose burial or cremation, a funeral or memorial service is a celebration of the life that has been lived. It offers family and friends the opportunity to pay tribute to their loved one as well as an opportunity to grieve in a supportive environment. You can have a ceremony with the urn present if the cremation has already taken place, or you can have a traditional funeral with visitation and viewing before the body is cremated if you desire.
Do I have to prepay for my preplanned funeral?
No. There is great benefit in pre-planning your funeral, even if you do not pay for it in advance, which is called "pre-funding." When you pre-plan, you can still make your wishes known to your loved ones, alleviating them from the burden of making tough decisions when the time comes. However, if you pay for ("pre-fund") your pre-planned funeral in advance, you can lock in today's prices for services and merchandise which may be more expensive in the future.
