Pre-planning

Many people choose to pre-plan their funeral. This is because they know how stressful and burdensome last minute arrangements can be on family members. Our pre-need funeral directors can review with you the advantages of pre-need planning. Some of these advantages are sparing your loved ones the emotional and financial burden at the time of need, as well as securing costs and protecting against inflation. We encourage you to give us a call. 

At Littleton & Rue, we make ourselves available at your convenience, to discuss the options of pre-planning and pre-payment. One of our funeral directors will be happy to come to your home, or visit with you at one of our facilities. At the time you make your funeral plans and arrangements, we can also let you know the costs involved at today's prices. Once you make your decisions, they will be kept as part of your permanent record on file at Littleton & Rue. This ensures that the products and services you have selected will be provided. 

Today, pre-planning is an essential part of personal and financial estate. Planning your funeral arrangements is a crucial step in easing the hardship on your survivors, guarding against the cost of future inflation and protecting your wishes. 

To better serve you, we offer a step by step online pre-planning guide.
