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 Cumby Family Funeral Service, we'll help you put it in writing. Writing it down will help avoid family disputes, or involvement by others who 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 or too little?" All of these questions are eliminated because you have already answered them.
Pre-arranging is the first step and cost you nothing! You will have the opportunity to sit down with a funeral director and determine what type of service is right for you. Because we will keep your wishes on file at the funeral home, you will always be able to come by and change your arrangements as you see necessary. Pre arranging is also available online. Please feel free to complete one of our Pre Arrangement Worksheets.
Pre-planning is the second step. Many forward-thinking people are considering ways to fund their funeral. Funding the funeral guarantees that the goods and services selected will be provided at the time of need. Many people have found that pre-planning causes peace of mind. Your survivors will not be burdened with decisions regarding your funeral.
Since 1960, the number of pre-planned funerals has increased by 1000%. Why such a dramatic increase in Pre-planned funerals?
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.

In return, you will save the people you care about most from the emotional turmoil and burdensome decisions that an unplanned funeral can often bring.
By making the decision to pre-plan now, you will lock in the cost of your funeral at today's prices, even if you live for another 50 years. When you pre-plan, you can be assured that definite arrangements have been made and no other financial decisions need to be faced. Your funds are held by one of the countries leading insurance companies in a special policy, designed solely for providing the funeral you have chosen at the time of need. No matter what the cost of fulfilling your last wishes at your time of need, pre-payment guarantees the cost will remain constant, regardless of inflation. In fact, since pre-paying ensures that you are protected against inflation, you can save thousands of dollars.
