Planning Information

For the same reason you write a will, make retirement plans or buy life insurance, it is a good idea to make funeral plans. But often, the important decision regarding what will happen at the time of your death is left to someone else. Advance Planning offers individuals and families the opportunity to make funeral arrangements and decision before the need arises. Advance Planning eases stress on family members at the time of death, eliminates the financial burden on your family, and gives you the opportunity to express your personal desires for your own service arrangements.

In its simplest form, pre-planning is having your wishes recorded by a local funeral home. At J.T. Morriss & Son, we offer this service free of charge. If you decide to pre-pay for your arrangements to lock in costs and to save your family the expense, you can do so through a bank trust or through funeral insurance funding. In either case, you may pay the full amount up front or set up a convenient payment schedule.

Someone should know your wishes and instructions for the time of your death. Why not start with J.T. Morriss & Son? For more detailed information or a free consultation in one of our offices or at your home, please give us a call at
