Preneed

Today, more and more Americans are learning the value of planning ahead. We spend much of our time and money making sure we're prepared for life's uncertainties. We buy insurance for our homes and cars and pay for disability, fire, even flood insurance, just to be ready for life's surprises. Doesn't it just make sense to plan for the inevitable?

Preplanning a funeral allows individuals to choose the type of service that best fits their beliefs and needs. Preplanning also helps ensure that an individual's preferences are met whether they involve a church service, a simple memorial at the funeral home, open or closed casket, and burial or cremation.

At Sterling & Smith, we understand a funeral is probably the last thing you care to think about. But if you don't take a few minutes to consider prearrangement, someone you love will be faced with these difficult decisions later, at a time of great emotional and financial strain.

Prearranging is a way for you to be there for your family and loved ones when they need you most. It's a way for couples to make these decisions together, not alone.

Sterling & Smith has designed a simple way to record your wishes, personalize a service that reflects your life, and guarantee the cost of a funeral at today's prices. You will enjoy the peace of mind knowing this gift you give your loved ones is part of how you will be remembered. We work with several companies to ensure that we can offer you the right plan that fits your needs.
