We are constantly reminded to make plans to assure the well-being of our families if something should happen to us. Chances are, you have already made out your will, taken out life insurance, and done many other things to make sure your property and financial estate are preserved for those you love. However, consider the emotional estate you leave to them. Planning your funeral in advance not only gives you control of how you are remembered, it also allows you to consider the feelings and expectations of your family with regard to your funeral arrangements. It eases the burden on your family of having to make decisions at the time of your death. The more you plan ahead for this inevitable need, the greater the sense of peace that you and your family will experience.
That's why we urge you to consider advance planning. At Palms Funeral Home, it costs nothing for you to investigate the option. You're never under any pressure or obligation to purchase anything. And, we'll be happy to help you start the process, any time you're ready.

It's never easy to talk about death - especially your own. But advance planning now lets you make decisions based on calm study of your options, not on pressing need. It also provides an opportunity for open discussion with your family, the people who will be most affected by the type of funeral or memorial service you choose. In fact, many people find this kind of planning to be a positive and empowering experience for the whole family. You can start by checking out information you'll find at the Palms Funeral Home website. Or, visit in person or by phone with one of the Palms Funeral Home staff. We can take you through the planning process, step by step, explaining all the options available to you. At this point, you can make arrangements yourself, or involve your family. It's all up to you. We're simply here to help.
Once you've determined some of the details of the funeral and service, our staff can accurately calculate costs and you can make further adjustments as needed. But such choices aren't the only way you can keep funeral expenses down. You may well find today's prices surprisingly modest compared to what you expected, but costs are almost sure to rise. Over the past 10 years, funeral costs have nearly doubled. That's why you should also look carefully at the variety of payment plans and options that are available. In essence, you can pay for tomorrow's need at today's lower costs.
Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before. Because of the factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral can make a lot of sense. In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for prearranging their own funerals:
