Planning Ahead
Why should you Preplan?
There are so many good reasons... practical ones, like saving money by paying in advance over time...and emotional ones, such as making sure your choices concerning memorial services, music and other matters are carried out...and giving your family and loved ones the peace of mind they deserve. Let’s discuss the practical ones first. Funeral prices have more than doubled in the past ten years. If you preplan with us, we guarantee that the funeral arrangements you specify will be available without additional costs when the need arises. Emotional reasons are even more important. Preplanning saves your family the burden of having to make difficult decisions at the worst possible time. You don’t want your family to guess about what kind of funeral service, or casket, or monument you prefer?and you don’t want to leave them with extra unanticipated expenses.
Preplanning has other advantages, too:
• As specified in each contract, we guarantee to deliver every preneed contract with no additional charge for any item prepaid in the contract (including cash advance items to others such as cemetery fees), and in addition, guarantee all services as specified, and guarantee delivery of all merchandise specified.
• Your personal wishes are carried out, to the selection of every detail
• Tax free benefits
• It relieves your family of a financial burden
• Gives you peace of mind
• All funds prepaid are placed into a Qualified Funeral Trust at AmeriServ Trust and Financial Services Company, a Pennsylvania Banking Institution specializing in the administration of prepaid funeral funds. Funds are available only upon proof to the trustee of performance of the preneed contract.
