The right time to plan is NOW
Like many Canadians, you are probably planning for the future, by saving for your retirement, having an estate plan and a legal will. Pre-planning your final arrangements is the logical next step – but it is often overlooked, even though the need is an absolute and unavoidable fact of life. It is a hard topic, and many hesitate and feel indecisive when it comes to pre-planning. Yet Arbor Memorial believes that the right time to plan is now.
And, here is how:
Let’s begin with an overview of what pre-planning will cover. Funeral planning, cemetery planning and final arrangements needs will be taken care of for you.
Working with our professional, it is easy, efficient and affordable to navigate the road to pre-planning funeral and cemetery arrangements, which only requires 4 steps as follow:
Consider
your needs
The first thing to make an informed decision is to do your research – learn about cremation and burial options and their pros and cons. Among all facts need to be considered, take any requirements of faith and budget into account, which will most likely decide the shape of your preferred arrangement.
Compile
your information
Gather your personal information, account numbers, location of important documents, contacts etc. And this information will be compiled into one journal: The Official Family Registry™ from Arbor Memorial.
Create
your unique plan
We will customize the plan to suit your taste, culture and budget, either in traditional way or a modern manner – many options are available for your consideration. During this process, you can share your thoughts with family members and a planning specialist. You can decide how you want to be remembered.
Complete
financial details
You can choose convenient payment terms that are comfortable for you and Arbor Memorial will do our best to fulfill your needs.
Besides simple steps above, here are some tips that are good to know:
Funeral bills are due right after the services are complete, but insurance money is often not available until weeks or months down the road. The best option is to pre-pay expenses today
Your legal Will is NOT a reliable place to record your funeral and cemetery wishes because the Will may not be read until AFTER the final services are already over.
