Since 1960, the number of pre-planned funerals has increased by 1000%, why such a dramatic increase? Because, pre-planning a funeral guarantees: Your wishes will be fulfilled, and you will spare your loved ones any unnecessary financial burden.

The pre-planned funeral lets you express your thoughts and wishes at your funeral. Pre-arranging and pre-funding a funeral is having the piece of mind that your final disposition will be done just as you planned it. In addition, it remedies some of the guesswork for your family during their time of bereavement. Shortridge-Ramey Funeral Home will go over the details of your funeral service and put it in writing. Everything will be considered from the casket of your choice to the financial obligations that you may accrue.  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 of these questions will be beyond them, due to the plans you and the funeral director have already set forth.

If pre-planning is the initial step, then pre-funding your funeral service is the final step in having a comprehensive funeral plan. Pre-Funding may include: a funeral trust fund or traditional life insurance annuities. Pre-funding the funeral guarantees your family will not pay anything more for the goods and services you selected. Those mourning your death will not be burdened with the decisions regarding your funeral.

Shortridge-Ramey Funeral Home believes in allowing you an opportunity to confer with your loved ones so the family can make the funeral plans together. As a result, you and your family can resolve your most personal matters with a clear mind in a peaceful and familiar atmosphere. In so doing, the people you care about will not endure the added stress of an at-need funeral conference as they begin their grief process.

Moreover, pre-funding your funeral ensures that you are protected against inflation. By pre-planning and pre-funding your funeral, you will secure the cost of your funeral at today's prices, even if you live for another 50 years. No matter the final sum of the funeral service you have selected, pre-arranging your funeral guarantees the cost will remain constant, regardless of inflation.
