Many of our clients, especially younger ones, are skeptical about using our pre-planning services. No one wants to think about their own memorial service, and it’s easy to assume the family will just take care of it when the time comes. But at Holly Hill, SC funeral homes, our pre-need setup offers many advantages for you and your family. Read on to discover the difference with Avinger Funeral Home’s pre-planning services.
One of the biggest pressures of planning a funeral is that things happen quickly and the family often has to make big decisions in a hurry. With our pre-planning services, it’s an easy and pressure-free process to set up all the details of the burial and service. You meet with us to develop a file of plans, sort out the details over as many meetings as needed, and it goes into our files for years or decades to be unsealed when we get a visit from your family.
Life is unpredictable and can take many unexpected stops along the way, and it’s not unusual to wind up in a different state or region. If you pre-plan a service and move years later, let us know and we’ll send your file to the funeral home you choose near your new home. It works the other way too - if you’re moving to our area and already have a plan with a funeral home back home, we’ll contact them and take custody of the plan.
Do you have specific ideas in mind for the decorations, flowers, urn, or other objects present at your service? If your family is hurrying to get them together at the last minute, not all of them might be available. But with our pre-planning services, it’s easy for us to get in contact with the suppliers, keep them on order, add any personalized touches like an urn inscription, and have them waiting for when they’re needed.
Are you a member of any organization you want represented at the funeral, like the United States military? Pre-planning services gives you the opportunity to locate any necessary documentation and keep it on file for easy access. We can take advantage of the time to coordinate any services and honors with the organization in advance, ensuring an easy activation of the plan when the time comes.
Paying for the unexpected cost of a funeral can be challenging for families with no planned money set aside. You can lessen or eliminate that stress with our pre-planning services by including a pre-payment plan. This can be done up front to ensure no balance for your loved ones, or do an installment plan and either pay it off completely over the years or leave only a small balance.
