Program Description

Event Details

Alleviate the stress and burden on your family and protect them against having to make tough, critical, unfamiliar and expensive decisions in a hurry, in the midst of their grief. You can be better prepared. Get in-depth information and answers to important questions about funeral, cremation and cemetery arrangements in advance. You’ll learn how to:

  • Decide on, and communicate your preferred arrangements, wishes and plans to your family and loved ones. 
  • Protect your family in case insurance isn’t available, canceled, borrowed against, expired, not assignable, insufficient, etc. 
  • Understand the “hidden” costs of insurance. Set up an “emergency” pre-need arrangement to cover whoever passes away first.
  • Select, and save on cemetery options (for burial and  cremation). 
  • Save on necessary items and lock in today’s prices. 
  • Understand what the VA will and will not provide for Veterans and their Spouses.
  • Set up burial in another city or state in advance.
  • Sign up with our Community Partnership Program that provides pre-need discounted services and merchandise.
  • Receive free benefits that protect your unmarried children or grandchildren under 21 years old. 
  • Organize the planning process with a complimentary Personal Planning Guide or Veteran’s Planning Guide.
