Pre-planning

Provide Peace of Mind for Your Family

Today, more people recognize that planning ahead provides peace of mind and demonstrates love and consideration for their families.

Reduce Stress and Uncertainty

Pre-planning is a thoughtful decision that helps reduce the stress of indecision and uncertainty when a death occurs. A preplan spares everyone from having to face decisions that can be both emotionally and financially difficult at the time of death. It can give them lasting peace of mind to know that they have acted in accordance with your wishes.

With PrePlan, you can arrange and pay now for the cremation that someone would have to plan and pay for later. PrePlan makes it easier on the people who love you. Thousands have relied on PrePlan since its inception in 1988. PrePlan assures choice, confidence, comfort, and convenience, with the safety and the peace of mind to know that your investment is safe in FDIC-insured securities.
