PFEFFER KLEIN & STANGEL CHRISTIANSON & DEJA Your Locally Owned Community Funeral Homes & Cremation Care Centers Rick Zahn, John Bodwin Wisconsin Licensed Insurance Intermediaries Pre-Planning Your Funeral Arrangements Pre-planning can provide peace of mind for everyone involved. A carefully pre-planned service can spare your loved ones from having to make numerous decisions on one of the most difficult days of their lives. Planning ahead reduces the emotional and financial burdens your family would have experienced, and can offer them peace of mind knowing they have fulfilled your wishes. Your pre-arrangements can be simple or as detailed as you wish. Most families choose to select the type of services and merchandise they would prefer, while others only complete the information that will be needed for legal documents and other necessary paperwork. Our funeral home truly believes that any planning ahead can prove to be invaluable when the need arises, providing a sense of direction for the loved ones who are left behind. Pre-planning can also allow the family to focus on other details, thus making the service a loving tribute to the memory of the one they loved so much. Another reason many families pre-plan is to ensure your family will receive all the benefits for which they are entitled. By recording your personal records, including bank accounts, investment information, insurance policies and locations of important papers, you and your loved ones can be assured that nothing will be overlooked. All of this and your personal wishes for your funeral can be recorded in our Planning Guide at no cost or further obligation. This will ensure that your beneficiaries receive the protection you planned for at a time when it is needed most. Although most people choose to set aside funds to cover the future cost of their finial arrangements, it is not required when planning ahead. We offer a variety of prepayment programs that allow you to control what is spent, guarantee today's price, avoid emotional overspending, and protect your funds should public assistance become necessary. A member of our Family Service Department can meet with you at your convenience at our funeral home or in the privacy of your own home to explain these options and answer any questions you might have. Once your pre-arrangements are completed and on file, a simple call to our funeral home will enable us to proceed smoothly and efficiently when the need arises. For further information about pre-planning or for answers to your questions, simply give us a call, or complete the form below. Once we receive your request, one of our trained and certified counselors will be available to assist you at no cost or obligation. The on-line pre-planning form below was designed to allow our funeral home to gather general information about you and your desired funeral service.
