The love and compassion that you have for your family can be seen in the actions you take to protect them. Pre-arranging your funeral service is hard to think about, much less do. However, this act can relieve a great deal of stress, anxiety, and decision-making for the ones you care about most. That way they can comfort each other without any question in the decisions that have already been made.

When pre-planning a funeral, all of your thoughts and wishes are planned for. Your family will know what you want, and not what they think you want. At Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home we'll help you put it in writing. Writing it down will help avoid family disputes, or involvement by others that may not know what your wishes are. Your loved ones won't question: "Did we do the right thing? Did we forget anything? Is this what she/he wanted? Did we spend too much?" All of that is eliminated because you put it in writing.

Pre-planning is the first step. Many people are considering ways to fund their funeral. Funding the funeral guarantees that the goods and services selected will not cost the family anything more. Pre-planning, along with pre-funding work together because they offer peace of mind. Your survivors will not be burdened with decisions regarding your funeral.

Because pre-planning guarantees:

• Your wishes will be fulfilled.
• You will spare your loved ones any unnecessary financial burden.

Pre-planning your own funeral makes sense because it allows you to take full control of your funeral right now. You can save your loved ones the trauma of making difficult decisions without knowing exactly what you have wanted.

To help with the pre-planning process we have introduced the “Horizon Plans” for Traditional Funeral Services. These plans include: Basic Service of Funeral Home and Staff, Embalming and Care of Deceased, Visitation and/or Rosary, Chapel or Church Service, Transportation to the Funeral Home (100 mile radius), Hearse, Family Car (1), and Flower Vehicle. Also included is our Basic Memorial Stationary Package.

**Outer Burial Container and Opening and Closing of Grave not included.

At your convenience we will sit down with you and help you with your choice of what funeral option best serves your needs.
