It’s easy to say, “Don’t make a fuss. I don’t want a ceremony. Just bury me and be done with it.” It’s important to realize that the ritual of a funeral and/or memorial service isn’t for the deceased, but for the living. It is a time when friends and family can gather together to grieve openly and to provide support for one another.

The first part of pre-planning your funeral can be very informal, as simple as following a checklist. More formal arrangements, in the form of a pre-need contract, can be set up with a funeral director and may include pre-funding through a bank CD or trust, life insurance, or another method.

If you wish to complete the online form this will begin the pre-planning process at no expense or obligation.

Pre-planning Mission Statement

At Weigel Funeral and Cremation Services we believe there are several advantages to pre-planning a funeral. We are committed to providing straight-forward, honest, and professional guidance in our pre-planning. This commitment to you involves:

• Information regarding the financial options available (bank CD or trust, insurance policy)
• Full disclosure of the name of financial institution or insurance company in which your money is invested.
• Annual statements of account activity.
• The guarantee that the funeral accounts are fully transferable if you choose to name a different funeral home at a later date.
• Full refund of principal and interest upon your request with a bank CD or trust. Insurance may have early withdrawal penalties.
• Sensitivity to your individual needs while assisting you to achieve peace of mind that comes from pre-planning.

If you're not quite ready to complete your funeral pre-arrangements we can also help you begin to record your funeral preferences and maintain your information on file at no expense or obligation.
