Gate of Heaven Cemetery encourages pre-planning before the time of need. Pre-planning your cemetery arrangements is a gift to the living from the living, and being prepared gives everyone such peace of mind. Pre-planning your resting place and pre-arranging your choices, including financial arrangements, is not only a smart, but loving way to care for your family. The death of a loved one is a tragedy every household experiences. Most families find themselves ill-prepared to deal with the problems, indecision and costs that death brings them. The decision to prearrange your cemetery needs today is economically sound, although the strongest reasons to prearrange are love and peace of mind. If you’re still uncertain, consider these benefits of pre-planning: • Preserving togetherness – A husband and wife or parent and child can share choices and decide together, saving loved ones heartache, expense and inconvenience at the time of death. • Maintaining satisfaction – An entire family can select and prearrange a burial estate, guaranteeing everyone’s satisfaction. • Freezing prices, choosing payment options – Cemetery costs, like most commodities, will continue to increase. Prearrangement allows you to freeze your costs at today’s prices. And Gate of Heaven Cemetery offers several payment options for pre-planning that are sometimes not available at the time of death. • Conserving life insurance – Life insurance is for the living, not the deceased. If you do not pre-plan, life insurance proceeds may go towards cemetery costs, adding ongoing financial burden to loved ones left behind. • Enabling peace of mind – When a death occurs in any family, or among friends, the grief is tremendous and the healing time long. Pre-planning has a positive effect on those left behind simply because you have made your own decisions. And peace of mind is, in a sense, priceless.
