The death of a loved one can be the most difficult experience of a person's life. In order to relieve your family of the emotional and financial burden associated with funeral planning, Hunter Funeral Home can properly assist you with arranging a funeral in advance. It is essential to know that a funeral can be prearranged without making a financial commitment. With this in mind, consider the following advantages:

Relieve survivors of an emotional burden. Planning a funeral involves a number of decisions that all too often are left to surviving loved ones in their time of grief.

Express your own wishes - a properly documented prearrangement clearly expresses the types of service, merchandise and any special requests pertaining to the deceased. We guarantee that these wishes will be carried out in a professional and precise manner.

Funeral expenses are determined by the selections of each particular family. Many individuals wisely choose to offset the effects of inflation by prefunding their funeral arrangements. As licensed prearrangement counselors, we will explain the different options available to your family. For those individuals unable to relinquish payment in full, we offer affordable prepayment plans to fit every budget. Whatever the case may be, consider the following advantages to prefunding funeral expenses:

Inflation-proof funeral - When a funeral is paid in advance, the same services and merchandise selected at today's costs will be rendered at any time in the future with no additional cost to the family.

Relieve survivors of a financial burden. Payment in full at the time of a prearrangement is considered payment in full at the time of death.

Prearranged funds are not considered an asset when applying for federal assistance.

Prearranged funds can be non-taxable.

At Hunter Funeral Home, our licensed professionals will offer suggestions and guidance as to which method may best suit your needs.

The decision to make advanced funeral arrangements is becoming more popular with each passing year. By the year 2010, half of the funerals performed will have been planned in advance. While many people remain uncomfortable with the idea of death and dying, it is a fact of life that all of our families will face. When this time comes, shouldn't you be prepared? Ultimately, your family will thank you for choosing prearrangement and the caring professionals of Hunter Funeral Home.
