M aking choices for your final arrangements is a natural part of the living process. We make plans all the time -- for our future, our hopes and desires, our personal joy and professional success. Pre-arranging your funeral, inevitable as it will be, is no less important than planning for everyday life.

Pre-arranging your funeral is one of the most selfless acts -- truly a gift of love -- that you can offer your loved ones. When you plan ahead, you can make decisions in a calm atmosphere, backed by logical research and unencumbered by emergency.

When you make your final arrangements, your family will know exactly what you wish, saving them the burden of making difficult decisions at an emotional time.

You are able to use our Personal Planning Guide to gather information and record your wishes without prepayment or freeze the cost at today's prices with one of our many payment options (many with no interest).

While you may not be thinking of purchasing a funeral in advance now, take some time to consider the benefits and value for you and your family:

1) give yourself peace of mind
2) control the cost of your funeral
3) protect your family from high inflation
4) ensure your wishes
5) save your family the grief of doing this
6) prevent emotional overspending
7) it makes good sense and is an important part of estate planning.

Please call Diane Timmersman for more details at 815-636-5100. We are also pleased to set an appointment for your tour and to pick up your Personal Planning Guide. A visit to your home is also certainly available for your convenience.

Choose the path of love -- pre-arrange your final wishes so that your loved ones can say farewell the way you want, and then concentrate on sharing memories!
