Why You Should Plan Ahead
Pre-planning is a matter of taking the time to think about – and record – your end-of-life preferences. It’s a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. Once done, you can relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family.
It’s All About Taking Control
Given time to consider it, you’ll quickly realize that pre-planning is all about ensuring that your wishes are known, so they can be acted upon with the time comes. Making the commitment to plan ahead:
- Is easy. There’s no physical exam required. Absolutely everyone can make an advance-plan. The plan is completed, and put on file in our office.
- Lets your family clearly know your wishes.
- Relieves your family members of making very personal decisions on your behalf at the time of need.
- Can protect your family from the ravages of inflation. Your expenses can be covered when you need them to be, through a pre-payment plan.

Does Pre-planning Require Pre-payment?
The simple answer is just two letters: No. You can set a plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing.
Or, you can protect you and your family from inflation, by pre-funding your plan. This ensures your expenses will be covered when you need them to be.
When you choose to pre-fund your final arrangements, your money is put into a secure, audited vehicle until it is required. After your advance-plan is paid for, our price for funeral services and merchandise is guaranteed.
Another point we’d like to stress: When you advance-plan with Hiers-Baxley Funeral Services, your plan can go where you go. If you relocate prior to the time of your passing, your plan will be transferable to another funeral home.
