What's Involved

Peace of Mind

What today's families want! 

Today, more than ever, individuals and families are interested in making their own arrangements, deciding on the options they want for themselves, or each other.  And most importantly, controlling costs. Prearranging can freeze the cost of your funeral.  With a J.J. Patterson and Sons pre-arrangement, you can ensure that the inflation that affects the merchandise and services selected, will be eliminated. Your family will be spared the cost of a funeral, that years from now, could cost several times more than today's costs. More importantly, you will receive the funeral and service that you want, and your family members will be spared the emotional turmoil of making arrangements at the time of a death.

Even with inflation under control today, you can expect the cost of living to double every 12 to 15 years. Funerals will increase at the same rate.

What do I have to do? 

Prearranging a funeral need not be a difficult procedure. A trained counsellor will help you through every step, ensuring that you understand your options, and find the services and merchandise that are suited to your needs and desires.

The first step is to gather the statistical/biographical information that is required. Everything from family names and history, to cemetery information, executor names, newspaper information and receiving information about organizations that can help with funeral expenses. Once this information is gathered, the next step is to discuss what services you want to have provided. Funeral service in a church or the funeral home, how much visitation, items to have present to personalize the ceremonies, people and even the type of music to be included. The service should be tailored to your wishes.

Last, but not least, selection of appropriated items that may need to be purchased. This would include a casket, a cremation urn, a burial vault, flowers, or what ever you need.  Making these decisions in an unhurried atmosphere can ensure your satisfaction with your choices.

What about the costs?

Prepayment of your funeral is not required. However, with prefunding comes the peace of mind that everything is looked after and will never increase in cost.   Tomorrow's services at Today's prices.
