PRE PLANNING YOUR FUNERAL

Today, almost half the purchases of burial space made in Catholic Cemeteries are made in advance of death (Pre-need). This shows both a sense of thoughtful planning and a sense of economic prudence. The decisions made now will be your own which gives you peace of mind now, and your loved ones peace of mind later. A PRE-NEED burial selection may be made today calmly, responsibly, economically and prudently with a low down payment and interest-free monthly payments.

These purchases are made directly at a cemetery office The Catholic Cemeteries' Counselors offer you their cemetery knowledge and expertise to make an educated burial selection. They are available during business hours or on Saturdays by appointment.

Most purchases are made under payment plan. Payment plans are without interest or carrying charges, so families generally find it more economical to use the plan than to withdraw savings. The low down payment and interest-free monthly payments are determined by the number of units selected and not by the cost of the purchase. Monthly payments are extended over reasonable lengths of time.

Once families have purchased their property, many choose to also prepay all remaining cemetery requirements in advance. For example, your Catholic Cemeteries offer such goods and services as opening and closing fees, flat granite grave markers, mausoleum and cremation memorialization, grave liners or protective burial vaults, and in-ground flower vases. All these items can be selected by means of our pre-paid and price-guaranteed cemetery trust program. The program allows you to select only those goods and services you want, prevents the possibility of emotional "overspending", and removes the financial burden from those responsible for your arrangements at the time of need.
