Can funeral arrangements be planned and, if desired, prepaid in advance?
Yes and is commonly referred to as preplanning or prearranging. Many people find that preplanning gives them peace of mind knowing that their wishes will be respected and the burden lessened on their family at the time of their death. Some people find the need to protect their assets and assure that their funeral expenses will be taken care of. Preplanning your funeral is a simple process which involves a meeting to discuss your choices, and allow us the opportunity to gather biographical information for a death certificate and obituary notices. If you wish you can discuss the type of service desired, the type of casket, outer burial container or cremation urn, as well as other related merchandise or items.

The interest that accumulates on your funds is then used to offset inflation. John A. Gentleman Mortuaries stands by our “100% Satisfaction Guarant
