Pre-Planning with Carmichael Funeral Homes

We feel that there is no reason not to make these important decisions well in advance. After all, we plan for our retirement, our investments, our children’s education… even our vacations. We plan for everything – including those things that may never actually happen. Doesn’t it make sense to plan for something you know will happen?

There are many important reasons to consider what kind of funeral or memorial service you would wish to have, and how you would like to be remembered.


Preplanning:
  • Provides peace of mind to you and your family
  • Makes estate planning easier
  • Facilitates Medicaid matters
  • Protects against inflation and future cost increases
  • Relieves your family of being faced with complex decisions at a difficult time
  • Provides you with the ability to choose exactly the services that are right for you
  • Offers several financing options that make payment easy and convenient




Why plan ahead?
Funeral arrangements often times take place within a few days of the loss of a loved one. Pre-planning for the funeral allows families the precious time they needed to make decisions regarding funeral options without the emotional stress related to the loss. Pre-arrangements permit one to ease the burden of making decisions while making their personal wishes known.


How do I start?
Starting the pre-planning process can be as easy as your first phone call. Our funeral director will lead you through the pre-arrangement process. You can rest assured that our staff will be attentive to your every need. We will answer any question that you might have and there will never be any pressure for you to make immediate decisions. Pre-planning is the process of gathering needed details, and thinking through the issues while you decide the nature of your arrangements.



Do I have to come to the funeral home?
Our funeral directors will accommodate you, whatever the need. Basic arrangements can be done at the funeral home, by phone and mail, and yes, we even make house calls. You can begine the process by using our Online Pre-Planning Form to gather the details you want to include in your arrangements plan.
