PRE-PLANNING - WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

WHY PRE-PLAN?

  1. Allows you to make your wishes known, so your loved ones won't have to guess. They won't be left wondering if they did the right things.
  2. It eliminates emotional overspending from grief or guilt. It can bring peace of mind to your family's decision-making.
  3. Gives you a chance to personalize your funeral and make it a tribute to the life you lived. It's a great way to get your loved ones involved and makes it a more positive experience.
  4. Relieves you and your family from future financial responsibility. Our funeral home has options to make sure your funeral is funded.
More than 80 percent of Americans age 30 and older think funeral planning is a good idea.*


POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PRE-PLANNING

  • Choose a reputable funeral home that has a solid track record in the community.
  • Make sure your funds are secured in a separate trust fund or insurance policy.
  • Consider the needs of the living. Your thoughtfulness enables your survivors to participate in a meaningful final tribute that helps them grieve and gives them comfort.
  • Like any contract, before signing, read it carefully and make sure you understand all the provisions. Ask questions.
  • Keep a copy of your plan in a safe place. Inform a close family member or friend that you have made arrangements and where the documents are kept.
  • Put everything in writing that you discuss, and get copies for you and your family.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CREMATION

Cremation is being chosen for one out of every four deaths occurring today. The most accurate and current figures on cremation rates are collected by the Cremation Association of North America (CANA), which covers the United States and Canada. These figures project that by the year 2010 the U.S. level of cremation will be two out of every five deaths, with urban areas higher than rural.

Here are five common questions and answers:

    Q: Who owns the crematory?
    A: We do

    Q: Where is it located?
    A: Parker Road at E. Dartmouth Ave.

    Q: When can I visit the crematory?
    A: Anytime

    Q: How can you assure me that you cremate responsibly?
    A: We cremate only 1 person at a time in our own crematory, staffed by good, honest people who sign fidelity oaths attesting to their personal commitment to our high standards.

    Q: Where do I go to identify and verify the identity of my loved one before the cremation takes place?
    A: Our tasteful facilities make this easier. Others who use 3rd party crematories may not have a facility and will attempt to downplay this need.

The Cremation Gardens at Rocky Mountain Memorial Park is Colorado's most unique cemetery and is the area's finest choice for permanent memorialization. Honor your loved one and give yourself and future generations a place that will provide inspiration and consolation to the living at: www.cremationgardens.org
