There
are so many good reasons for pre-planning a funeral. Practical ones,
like saving money by paying in advance over time. Emotional ones,
such as making sure your choices concerning memorial services, music,
and other matters are carried out. Giving your family and loved ones
the peace of mind they deserve.
At
Patterson, we explain the many choices that pre-planning provides.
The following lists ten good reasons to Pre-plan:
- Peace
of Mind: Many who have undergone the emotional strain
of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have
made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. In doing so, it
lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making
pressure at a time of grief and stress.
- Personal
Choice: Funeral arrangments are a deeply personal choice.
Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical,
detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, preferences
and budget. We assure you and your family that the choices you
make will be carried out as planned.
- Lower
Costs: When you finalize your pre-arrangement plan, we
can advise you of the total cost. You do not have to pre-pay or
pre-finance your plan, but doing so protects you against escalating
funeral prices. By locking in todays' funeral costs and ensuring
that the necessary funds are set aside, you relieve yourself of
unnecessary future worry and your survivors of an unexpected expense.
- Modification:
You can modify your pre-need revocable contract at anytime.
- No
Health or Age Restrictions: You can pre-pay your funeral
contract regardless of your age or health status.
- Convenience:
you can make pre-need funeral arrangements in our funeral home
or in the comfort of your own home at any time of day or evening.
- Transferability:
In the event that you move from our city, your pre-need funeral
contract is transferable to any funeral home.
- Guaranteed
Contract: Patterson Funeral Home offers a guaranteed
contract. This can give you the assurance that the services you
select today will be provided to you at no extra cost at your
time of need. Not all funeral homes offer a guaranteed contract,
even when you pay ahead. At Patterson Funeral Home, we also guarantee
the cost of disbursements.
- Cash
protection: By placing money in a pre-arranged trust fund,
you are able to ensure that it is not used for other things and
that it will be there when your family needs it for your funeral
or memorial service.
-
Secure:
The Board of Funeral Services in Ontario requires that 100%
of the monies of a pre-arranged contract is deposited in a special
trust fund.
