The Importance of Pre-Planning
Although it can be a tough discussion to have, pre-planning is the best way to ensure your wishes are known, and even paid in advance, so they can be acted upon when the time comes. Pre-planning is a thoughtful gesture to those you love, relieving your family members of making very personal decisions on your behalf during a difficult time.
We are here to assist you in choosing a grave or columbarium space. Whether you are choosing cremation or full burial, each of our three cemeteries offers many options from which to choose. A licensed funeral home can help create an overall funeral plan now and will be a resource you can trust and depend on when a death occurs.
Call our office, 814-459-2463, to be connected to the cemetery of your preference. A compassionate and knowledgeable Family Services Representative will reserve time for you and your family member(s) to walk the grounds and select the best option to fulfill your future needs.
