About Cremation Pre-Planning

Planning your own cremation service is not something that you may like to think about. In fact, we’re fairly confident that, if left to your own devices, you just might choose to avoid it altogether.

But, what happens if you do? Let us say just two words: nothing good.

By avoiding end-of-life planning, you’re really giving up your authority over some of the most critical decisions you would ever make in your lifetime, leaving them to be made by relatives who are caught in the emotional turmoil of grief after losing someone they loved.

When you do the right thing, and decide to make your cremation pre-arrangements, you can do so at your own pace, when you feel calm, healthy, and rational.

We promise to make it as easy on you as possible. You can pre-arrange your cremation using our secure Pre-Arrange Online network, or by visiting us to speak directly with a member of our staff.

You can also make pre-arrangements for a loved one. If you have any questions or would prefer to speak to someone directly, please contact us at 724-599-9405.

We’d like to say “right now”, but know you may not be emotionally ready to take on this task. Perhaps the best time to begin making your cremation pre-arrangements is when you have a family you wish to protect from the emotional and financial burdens they will carry when you leave them with no plan at all.

This way you can carefully choose specific items you want and need... and pay for them now. Prepaid Investments through funeral homes allows families to fund their funerals in advance through different investment vehicles.

The Six Common Reasons for Pre-Planning a Cremation

Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their cremation service than ever before. Because of the factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own cremation can make a lot of sense.

In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for prearranging their own cremation service:

  • Communicates your wishes
  • Reduces stress for friends and family at an already emotional time
  • Saves money
  • It may guarantee your family will never have to pay more for your cremation — no matter what happens with inflation
  • Shows you care
  • Relieves your loved ones of the financial responsibility
Any one of those reasons is good, but when you take them all together, it’s easy to see why pre-planning your cremation is one of the smartest things you can do. If you agree, give us a call to set an appointment with one of our certified pre-planning advisors, or get started right now, with Pre-Arrange Online.
