Plan ahead.

Pre‑Need Arrangements
Cost Lock‑In
No Obligation

"Pre-planning is the greatest gift you can give your family. It is a quiet act of love — made before the hardest moment, so that they do not have to make decisions in grief."

— Free Funeral Home · Coshocton, OH

Why plan now

Make the decision once — in peace.

Pre-planning gives you control over your own arrangements while sparing your family from making difficult decisions during an already difficult time. You choose the service, the music, the readings, and the resting place — at your own pace, without any pressure.

Through a licensed pre-need insurance plan, we lock in the costs of your chosen services at today's rates. What you plan for today is what your family pays — regardless of when the time comes. Pricing rises over time; pre-planning eliminates that uncertainty.

If you have questions or simply want to start a conversation, give us a call. There is no obligation and no pressure — it is a simpler conversation than most people expect.

How it works

Four steps, at your pace.

Step · 01

A quiet conversation.

Call us or write to us. There is no obligation and no pressure. You speak with one of our directors — by phone or in person — and we listen to what you want.

Step · 02

Record your wishes.

We record every detail: the service type, the music, the readings, the cemetery. Your instructions are filed with our chapel so that any of our directors can serve your family when the time comes.

Step · 03

Lock in today's costs.

Through a licensed pre-need insurance plan, we lock in the costs of your chosen services at today's rates. What you plan for today is what your family pays — regardless of when the time comes.

Step · 04

Tell your family.

The final and most important step: tell your family that the arrangements are made and where to find them. We will provide written confirmation and a copy for your records.

Common questions

Things people often ask.

What does pre-planning cost?

There is no cost to have the initial conversation or to record your wishes. Funding the plan through pre-need insurance is optional — but it is the step that locks in pricing and provides financial protection for your family.

Can I change my plans later?

Yes. Pre-need plans are transferable and can be updated. If your circumstances change — you move, your wishes change, your family grows — we can revise the plan at any time.

Do I need to visit in person?

Not necessarily. Many families complete their pre-planning entirely by phone. We are happy to walk through everything at your pace. Just call us at (740) 622-4515.

What about my family if I have a plan?

When the time comes, your family calls us and we already know exactly what to do. The decisions are made, the costs are covered, and their only role is to grieve — not to arrange.

Start the conversation today — it costs nothing.

One call, one conversation. We'll take it from there, at whatever pace suits you.
