Pre-arrangingSaying goodbye is one of the hardest things anyone must go
through. Taking time to discuss with your family your final wishes will make a
significant difference when the time comes.
An ever widening segment of the population is taking the
time to pre-plan their own and/or their loved ones funeral services. Why?
Quite simply, many people wish to have input into their own tribute. Others
wish to lessen the burden on surviving family and friends who would otherwise
be left with arrangement duties.
We at Armstrong Funeral Home are here to guide and assist
you through your decision making process. We want to ensure that the services
you choose are comfortable and right for your loved ones because the funeral is
for the living.
The funeral is a celebration of life, a time for family and
friends to come together to share memories. We work with you and your family to
personalize the service by choosing appropriate music, photos and personal
items.
When pre-arranging with Armstrong's, we'll assist you with
decisions such as:
* Place of service
* Style and format
of ceremony
* Who will
officiate or eulogize
* Burial or
cremation
* Caskets, urns,
cemeteries and monuments
* Music, flowers,
photos, donations, personal mementos
* Newspaper
announcement information
* Pallbearers
* Transportation
* Special requests
Information which will be required at the time of the
pre-arrangement is Social Insurance Number, parents names and places of birth
and the name of the executor of the estate.
While pre-arranging is very considerate emotionally, it also
makes good financial sense. Services can be pre-paid at today's rates, allowing
for significant cost savings.
Pre-financed funerals are held either in Trust with
Guaranteed Funeral Deposits of Canada or in an insurance policy. Interest
earned stays with the principle to fund any increase in the cost of the
funeral. All deposits and policies are protected.
