Pre-Planning Services
Prearrangement means that you have taken the opportunity to both preplan and prefund. Betty
Bartle Clark is a pre-arrangement counselor. Her duties specifically include meeting with individuals
or families in advance of need to explain, educate and provide information for Prearrangement. This
service is provided free of charge in hopes that it will bring peace of mind to the people we serve.
There is a comfort that comes in knowing that your wishes will be respected and that your family will
have fewer burdens in making decisions about funeral arrangements during a time of grief.

We encourage people at any age to become acquainted with the costs and all the decisions that need
to be made when a loved one encounters the inevitable. Having to discuss arrangements at the time
of need is probably one of the hardest financial decisions that we will face in our lifetime. Betty or
Stephanie would be glad to meet with you to discuss how best to carry out your wishes.  Visit the
Contact Us page for information.
Planning ahead gives us the opportunity to prepare for future events of importance to us and those
we love. It also makes sense to plan for that which is inevitable.
The process of making plans for your own funeral
– or that of a loved one – well in advance of need is called
Preplanning. It includes writing out and setting up a
permanent record of your wishes. The written expression of
your thinking as to the type of service, burial location and
other details are very important, along with your written
record of vital statistics. Many people also choose to pay for
their funeral in advance. To Prefund is an option that more
people are choosing because it allows you to consider cost-
effective options at a time when you are better prepared to
make sound, fiscally responsible decisions.
