What
is Advance Funeral Planning? Many
people choose to pre-plan their funerals. Pre-planning means
making funeral arrangements in advance of the need for them.
How
Much Does It Cost? Advance
planning at Ells Funeral Home costs nothing. We help you make
funeral plans and keep records of your wishes at no charge.
Some families prefer to pre-pay for a funeral. They want to set
aside funds in order to make it easier financially for their
survivors.
Ells Funeral Home provides several options for those who
choose to pay in advance. Payment may be made in full and
safeguarded in a trust that earns interest - offsetting the
effects of inflation. Payment may also be made over time. In
either case, Ells protects your investment in an insured
account. Our staff
can help you select the method of payment that is best for you. Who
Can Best Assist With Advance Planning? Advance
planning involves more than selecting a casket. It designates
trust in a professional who will make sure that every aspect of
the funeral proceeds according to plan, and that survivors receive
full support during the grieving process. For this reason, advance
planning is best conducted with the help of a licensed funeral
director. Only licensed funeral directors assist with advance
funeral planning at Ells Funeral Home.
Funeral planning should be free of pressure;
it is best done with the help of someone who is not a commissioned
salesperson. For this reason, no direct marketing staff or
commissioned salespeople are employed by Ells Funeral Home.
