Not everyone likes to plan ahead, but pre-planning your funeral arrangements not only gives you peace of mind about your final wishes being honored, but alleviates some of the stress and burden your loved ones are going through as they experience the grief associated with the loss.
The staff of Thompson Funeral Home is happy to assist you with your funeral pre-needs by helping you make decisions about your funeral service in advance and guide you in helping eliminate some of the unnecessary stress brought on by a loved one’s death.
The death of a loved one often brings about unwarranted stress and turmoil among families. One family member wants one thing, while another family member wants something different. By planning ahead, you help prevent those disagreements by letting your family know what your wishes are and how you want your funeral service to be carried out and your business handled.
Our staff guarantees we will carry out the arrangements you want, just as you directed. Once the plans have been arranged, you and your family can rest easy knowing at the time of death, those uncomfortable decisions have been made. In a time when a family should be able to easily grieve, preplanning allows for that to happen.
When you preplan your funeral arrangements, there are more options when it comes to funding the funeral. A preneed insurance policy, life insurance policy or other payment options can all be arranged before the time of death. At the time of death, services must be paid in full, so having options ahead of time can also reduce other stress related to losing someone.
Following the death of a loved one, there are more than 150 decisions that have to be made within the first day or two following the death. Those stressful decisions on top of the stress of grieving a loss can be eliminated by arranging your final wishes ahead of time.
If those decisions are made, your loved ones aren’t left wondering what you would have wanted and how they should proceed with funeral plans. With those decisions out of the way, your loved one can begin the healing process sooner.
Anyone can preplan their one funeral service, however family members or even close friends should participate in the prearrangement process. If possible, it is always beneficial to plan together, since the actual funeral or memorial is not for the deceased but also for the loved ones left behind.
The advantages to prearranging are man, but most importantly, it ensures that your wishes will be carried out, down to the last detail. It is a valuable and protected investment and is one of the kindest gifts you can give your family. We encourage you to discuss your thoughts and decisions with your family and contact Thompson Funeral Home Inc. if you have any questions.
Preplanning a funeral service at Thompson Funeral Home Inc. is a very secure and informed way to prepare for the eventuality of death. With the cost of funerals constantly increasing similarly like everything else, planning ahead could prevent an untimely financial obligation to your family. By making arrangements in an unhurried atmosphere, you will not leave complicated decisions to your family on perhaps the most difficult day of their lives.

The family should immediately call Thompson Funeral Home Inc. where the prearrangement was planned. We are available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
