Pre-Arrangements

We would like to encourage pre-arrangement of cemetery needs. Similar to preparing a will, it is a wise, compassionate and responsible act. There are many advantages to pre-arrangement:

• Relieve your family of difficult decisions in the midst of their grief
• Decisions are your own
• Current price protects you from future price increases
• No financial burden when there is sudden loss
• Loved ones will not have to worry about payments
• Greater choice of grave sites
• More space now for those interested in large family grave sites
• Peace of mind for all
• Eliminates questions such as, “What would our loved one have chosen?"

Cemetery Pre-arrangements are handled through the church via the Board of Managers

Funeral home Pre-arrangements can be handled at the funeral home of your choice.

Cemetery stones are available for purchase at many locations and visiting their showrooms and websites can be very helpful. Sometimes walking through cemeteries and looking at other stones for ideas is the best way to design your own memorial.
