Preplanning

A wise choice

Persons who plan and arrange mortuary care in advance of need (often a time of crisis) perform an act of great consideration and help for survivors. The Society helps its members to do this by providing information, procedures and forms for use in filing preplanned instructions and needed information with the mortuary, all without added cost or requiring mortuary prepayment. Such filing not only simplifies action at the time of need, but it facilitates use of a unique Society benefit that is sometimes required, namely, the securing of desired care at a distant place, when death occurs away from the home area.
