Pre-Planning


 Pre-arranging your funeral is a caring and thoughtful decision that helps your family at the time of your death. It relieves your family from stress, indecision, and uncertainty, and it establishes your wishes ahead of time. Pre-arranging spares your family these difficult decisions at such a difficult time. They will not have to search for insurance policies, veteran info, records, or addresses. You will also relieve their burden and potential family conflicts by eliminating any doubt about what your wishes were. It also relieves financial strain if you pre-pay your funeral, and eliminates the possibility of emotional over-spending.

With pre-planning and pre-funding, you can make all the important choices regarding your funeral now - and get the peace of mind of knowing your wishes will be carried out to the smallest detail.

Some people prefer to pre-arrange the funeral details by simply letting us record their vital information. This allows us to know your wishes, and your important dates and information so we can complete your arrangements and obituary quickly at death.

Others wish to go further by pre-selecting the services and merchandise such as the casket, vault, clothing, urn, or other items.

Other people choose to complete the arrangements by pre-paying, which in Pennsylvania means you are pre-funding the funeral. This allows you to completely pay in advance, yet many times your money stays at your same bank - only in a different account. This means that you pay at today's current prices, assuring your family of no financial burden. Because it locks in today's price, in a way it is our inflation-proof guarantee. You can pay as much or as little as you want.

Don't deal with telemarketers offering free gifts or just updating records, or out-of-town casket sellers with no guarantees of service. They are not licensed to sell funeral services or goods. Deal only with licensed funeral directors like Turners.
