When pre-planning a funeral, all of your thoughts
and wishes are planned for. Your family will know what you want,
and not what they think you want. At Baumann Colonial Chapel,
we'll help you put it in writing. Writing it down will help avoid
family disputes, or involvement by others that may not know what
your wishes are. Your loved ones won't question: "Did we
do the right thing? Did we forget anything? Is this what she/he
wanted? Did we spend too much?" All that is eliminated because
you put it in writing.
Pre-planning is the first step; this step allows
us to gather your vital information and decisions. We will then
file this information until the time comes for when it is needed.
Many people are considering ways to fund their
funeral. If you would choose to do this also, this step will
actually allow you to set money aside to be used for your funeral
expenses. There are a few ways to approach putting money aside
for funeral expenses, so we have trained licensed pre-need specialist
at our funeral home that can explain all of them to you.
Pre-planning along with pre-funding work together
because they offer peace of mind. Your survivors will not be
burdened with decisions regarding your funeral.
Pre-funding allows for protection from Nursing
Home Costs. Unlike other investments (including cash value of
traditional life insurance) that you own, the dollars you place
into a correctly structured final expense plan will not count
as an asset if you enter a nursing home. The full cost of your
funeral can be protected using an irrevocable insurance trust.
Since 1960, the number of pre-planned funerals
has increased by 1000%. Why such a dramatic increase in Pre-Planned
Funerals?
Because pre-planning guarantees:
• Your wishes will be fulfilled.
• You will spare your loved ones
any unnecessary financial burden.
Pre-planning your own funeral makes sense because
it allows you to take full control of your funeral right now.
You can save your loved ones the trauma of making difficult
decisions without knowing exactly what you would have wanted.
Pre-planning allows you to confer with your
loved ones and make your plans together, thus resolving your
most personal matters with a clear mind, in a peaceful and relaxed
atmosphere. In return, you will save the people you care about
most from the emotional turmoil and burdensome decisions that
an unplanned funeral can often bring.
When you pre-arrange and pre-pay, you can be
assured that definite arrangements have been made and no other
financial decisions need to be faced. Your funds are held in
your name, in an instrument designed solely for providing the
funeral you have chosen at the time of need. In fact, since
pre-paying ensures that you are protected against inflation,
you can save thousands of dollars to spend as you please or
leave to your loved ones.
