Why Should I Plan Ahead

Pre-planning is a matter of taking the time to think about – and record – your end-of-life desires. It’s a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. Once done, you can relax, knowing your plans are in place unless you change them.

Making the decision to plan ahead:

- Is easy... No health questions or physical exam is required...Absolutely everyone can make  pre-planed instructions; and once completed, your plan is placed in our office-file until needed.

- Clearly spells out your wishes for your family 

- Protects your family from the ravages of inflation when your plan has been or is being pre-paid.
