PRE-PLANNING your funeral can and does make sense.

Pre-planning your funeral gives the individual or other family members an opportunity to discuss, select and if they wish to purchase a funeral service for themselves or a loved one. As in every aspect of our lives, we try and anticipate all possibilities.  We pre-plan for our weddings, for the birth of our children and yes, we should pre-plan for our deaths.  Discussing our options about or demise does not have to be depressing or intimidating.  It can and should be a conscious well thought out plan. Families have pre-planned their funeral wishes for years. This process can be as brief or as thorough as wish.  The Baird’s have been helping family’s pre-plan funerals, cremations or burials for generations.


WHY should I pre-plan?

Families today live in different parts of the country. Inflation is felt by every household and planning ahead prevents emotional overspending and protects your family’s financial interests.  Here are four reasons to plan ahead.

1. YOUR FAMILY – Making decisions today with the help of those closest to you, enables you to make well thought out choices.
    
2. LOWER COSTS – Everyone can afford a pre-need consultation. The Baird family has never charged a family to discuss their pre-need funeral arrangements.
    
3. SECURING BENEFITS – Millions of dollars in government death benefits go unclaimed each year.  It is important for you to know how to protect your potential benefits from Social Security, Veterans. Administration or Medicaid.  We can answer your questions and assist you in filing for these benefits.
    
4. PEACE OF MIND – Arranging today, before a death occurs, is handling a family matter. Arranging at the time a death occurs, is a family crisis.  Planning ahead….you can have true peace of mind knowing that the decisions you have made will be taken care of by the Baird family.
