About Pre-Planning

Pre-planning and pre-paying your funeral is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give to your family. Taking the time now to arrange your funeral is one less thing your loved ones will need to worry about once you’ve passed.

Pre-Planning Options

So many life events are planned well in advance – including weddings, vacations and more.  Yet, many people choose not to plan for the one event that is certain to happen, their funeral.  While many people do not want to think about their own mortality, the time to pre-plan your funeral is now.  By pre-arranging your funeral, you will be relieving the burden on your loved ones in an already emotional time.  Pre-arranging also allows you to ensure that your funeral is carried out according to your wishes, eliminating the task of second-guessing what you may have wanted.  Pre-planning and pre-paying for your funeral truly is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give to your family.

Pre-Payment Options

Pre-paying for your funeral greatly reduces the stress and financial burden on your loved ones after your passing.  At Neshama Jewish Funeral Services, we can coordinate a payment plan that suits your needs, from a single payment plan to monthly bank account withdrawals.

By pre-paying for your funeral, you eliminate your family trying to determine how much to spend on your funeral, whether they have spent too much or too little.  Pre-payment also protects you and your family from inflation and protects price increases. Each year thousands of people decide to pre-plan and pre-pay for their own and their family members’ funerals.  These plans are also designed to be flexible and can accommodate the many changes that often occur in people’s lives.

What you can plan in advance for your funeral:

• Decide on burial preferences.
• Pick what type of service you want.
• Choose which funeral home to use.
• Designate your pallbearers, and any speakers.

Benefits of Pre-Planning:

• Pre-planning gives you, your family and friends peace of mind.
• Pre-planning gives your loved-ones clear direction of your wants and desires.
• Pre-planning is an easy process.
• Pre-planning allows for any person to make funeral arrangements.
• Pre-planning allows for you to revise your plans and make changes at any time.
