Making Funeral Arrangments and Pre-Planning
Making funeral arrangements at the time of loss is extremely difficult for those left behind. Pre-planning is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for your family because it gives them a guideline to follow regarding your wishes. This lifts the burden of decision-making and allows your loved ones to concentrate on family and friends.
Pre-planning allows you to meet with one of Baker Funeral Home’s Funeral Planning Professionals to select the type of service you prefer. This may include the recording of biographical information and/or selecting merchandise such as a service folder, casket, vault or urn. You may wish to prepay for your service, but you are not obligated to do so.
There are three main reasons why you may choose to pre-plan your funeral:
1. It relieves an emotional burden from those you love.
2. You may express your funerary wishes.
3. You can relieve those you love of a financial burden.
“You are told to plan for the future. The only certain thing in your future is death. Why not plan for it?" --- Kevin Bowen, Author
