 Personal
Guidance
At
Crestwood Memorial Chapel, our directors
are personally involved with each pre-arrangement.
When allowing us to discuss pre-planning, you will be
speaking with professional people who provide funeral
services tailored to your specific needs. We can arrange for
a confidential PrePlan conference, at your
convenience, with a member of our staff. There is no charge and
no obligation for this meeting.
PrePlan allows you to make all of your final arrangements -including payment - so that the people who love you
won’t have to. PrePlan makes preplanning simple and
safe. This is how it works:
-
You meet with our funeral
director.
-
You select the funeral and merchandise of your
choice.
-
You receive a fully itemized statement and preneed
agreement.
-
You give the funeral director a check payable to
PrePlan.
-
PrePlan funds are placed in FDIC-insured Certificates
of Deposit held in a New York financial institution. Each
trust fund depositor is insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
-
You receive a deposit acknowledgment after the account
has been opened.
-
Upon completion of your funeral, PrePlan sends the
payment to the funeral director.

Eliminate Doubts
Spare your family the emotional stress of
making decisions during a difficult time. A
preneed funeral arrangement records your exact
wishes - consider it the final gift for those
you love.
10.
Peace of Mind
Responsible estate planning requires many
considerations. Life insurance proceeds
provide supplemental survivor income and may
be necessary for unpaid medical and legal
expenses. Your Will distributes your estate
according to your instructions. A preneed
funeral contract offers your family inflation
protection. Also, you'll be secure in knowing
that you have spared your loved ones added
stress, worry, anxiety and expense by
prearranging your funeral in writing.

Advance Planning also gives you the opportunity for the
design of a personal and customized service. When someone dies, their family is sometimes surprised and comforted by the number of people who attend the funeral.
