Why do people pre-plan burial arrangements?
Pre-arranging provides peace of mind, knowing family members won’t need to make difficult decisions alone while grieving. You get to choose your location, your memorial and other arrangements, and you get to do it together. Costs are also significantly reduced when you pre-arrange, and you have the ability to make small monthly payments.
Who should pre-plan cemetery arrangements?
Anyone with a spouse, partner, children or close friends you’d want to give the gift of remembrance when the time comes, so they don’t have to make difficult decisions during the immediate grief of loss.
What are the most common forms of pre-arranging?
Many people plan for individual burial space, a traditional burial for two people, or family burial estates of eight graves or more. Other options include purchasing lawn crypts for one or two people or above ground mausoleum crypts. Others consider cremation programs or even green burial.
How do I pay for my burial pre-arrangement program?
Canton Cemetery Association offers multiple payment options in order to make the burial of your choosing affordable for you. You can opt for small, deferred payments for up to seven years, interest-free financing for up to 24 months or payment in full at time of purchase.
