In an effort to ease the burden of loss, we offer several pre-planning options. Families can choose any combination of the following:

• Purchase burial insurance
• Select merchandise (casket, outer burial container, clothing, cemetery plot, monument)
• Complete family history
• Create funeral program (pick order of ministers, songs, etc…)
• List special wishes
• Create list of special people to notify
• Leave instructions for relatives on bank accounts, property, military discharges, things they may not know, etc…
• Letters to family members

Pre-Arrangement is very easy. It is a common-sense approach to making choices and recording your wishes at a time when thinking is clear and emotions aren't usually high.

You may complete our pre-planning form by clicking on the pre-planning button. You will be able to complete as much or as little of the information on the form as you feel is appropriate. You also may contact us via e-mail at hallbrosfh@yahoo.com or by phone to set up your personal consultation with one our directors.

Advantages of Pre-Planning

• You have the piece of mind knowing everything is the way you want and not subjecting your family to emotional overspending
• Your family will not have to make avoidable choices or answer questions during an extremely difficult time
• You can pre-pay so that your family will not be faced with a financial burden
• Only you know what you like, it is very difficult for families to try to decide what you would prefer, which leads to more stress
