More and more people are realizing the thoughtfulness and practicality of planning their funerals in advance. At Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory we have two pre-arrangement options available to make a difficult time easier for your family:

·  For those interested only in advance planning, there is no charge for making funeral arrangements before the need arises, and keeping a copy in our files.

·  We offer an advance planning program which allows for pre-payment of your funeral arrangements.

 Arranging a Funeral in Advance:

A death occurs, and without warning a family member or friend is left to make all the difficult decisions of arranging a funeral. Most people have little idea of what is involved, what the costs are, and, most importantly, what final arrangements the deceased would have wanted. 

When a loved one dies, the anxieties and stress of making funeral plans can be an overwhelming emotional responsibility. In addition, the costs involved can leave a real financial burden on your surviving family members, especially when they are least prepared to deal with additional worries about money. That’s why more and more people are thoughtfully planning funeral arrangements in advance.

 Pre-planning allows you to protect your family members or friends from the stress of difficult funeral decisions at a time of emotional upheaval. It also eliminates any guesswork about what kind of choices you might have preferred.

Advance funeral planning is a decision only you can make. Our pre-arranged funeral program allows you to plan ahead by making wise personal choices, in writing, knowing that your wishes will be carried out.
