Advanced Planning Services
While Jones Mortuary Associates are trained to ease the burden and help families make informed decisions, there is no question that pre-arranged funerals offer several advantages; as follows:
The opportunity to make unhurried decisions. This includes everything from the type of funeral and professional services you prefer, to your preference for burial entombment or cremation, to the selection of casket, vault, or other types of merchandise.
Easing the burden on your family. In addition to sparing your loved ones from having to make difficult decisions, it comforts them to know that the funeral will be held in precisely the manner you wished.
Guaranteed pricing for all funded plans. Funeral prices continue to rise over time, like the prices of other goods and services, unless arrangements are made in advance to be fully paid at time of need. If you choose to pre-fund, we offer a number of plans and payment options. After the price is determined the funding portion of the pre-arrangement can be considered. You should consider what works best for your current situation. You can make a single payment, or periodic payments (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually); payments can be set up for three, five, seven or ten years. This flexibility allows plans to be fully-funded with locked-in prices on a schedule consistent with your ability to pay.
Free service to record your information and selections for the funeral. Certain information is necessary for your funeral pre-arrangement. This information is needed for the funeral home to complete the required documents at time of death, including the death certificate, and social security notification. Recording this information in our Personal Information Register ahead of time only takes a few moments, but can make it much easier on your family. This information is kept safe, private, and confidential. In order to complete this information a funeral cost estimate is necessary for us to know what your wishes are for the service and merchandise involved in your arrangements. All of this is done at NO COST OR OBLIGATION. One of the most common statements made when making arrangements for the passing of a deceased family member is “I wish we had taken care of this years ago.”
