Pre-Arrangement

      One of the most important planning decisions a person can make is to not only plan to pre-arrange a funeral, but follow through with pre-arranging a funeral.  Pre-arrangement ensures that your own wishes will be carried out at the time of death while relieving your survivors of financial and emotional decisions during a time of grief.  Family members, funeral directors, preachers, cemetery and crematory specialists, and other related people to the funeral process all have something to gain from pre-arragement.  Pre-arrangement provides clear direction at a difficult time when our emotions and thoughts are not very clear.
      Pre-arrangement is a responsible, sensible, and caring solution to a time in our lives that we will all face.
      The first step of pre-arrangement is to discuss with your family the intent to make plans.  This will offer you peace of mind knowing that you have made your wishes known to the people that would have to make your arrangements at the time of death.  You discuss with your family at length about life insurance, wills, children's educations, and retirement.  Why not discuss your funeral arrangements?  Some awkward discussion concerning funerals may save your survivors years of regret concerning your own funeral.
      The second step is to meet with a funeral home representative to discuss your plans.  Your plans may be as detailed as you would want them to be.  The funeral professionals at Gunter & Peel can guide you through every decision to complete a thorough arrangement.  Newspaper and death certificate information must be obtained.  The type of service and disposition must be decided.  The best way to ensure that the information needed is in the hands of those people who need it is to establish a pre-need file.
      The final step is to handle the financial aspects of your pre-arrangement.  Gunter & Peel offers a wide range of financial payment options to meet all needs.  Gunter & Peel agrees to freeze the costs at today's price and allow you a payment plan of your choice.  We guarantee the funeral price will never go up allowing you to beat funeral inflation with no tax or interest.
      These financial benefits are secondary to the assurance you will have knowing your arrangements have been made.  This means that you have protected yourself and your family against increasing costs and you have provided certainty in days of uncertainty.
