4. How do I purchase a burial space?
The purchase of burial space is formalize with a contract and
supporting paper work which formally defines:
- what is purchased,
- by whom,
- at what exact burial location, and
- at what cost.
Thereby, the duties, expectations and obligations of both parties are clearly defined.
A down payment is required at the signing of a purchase contract.
We take only cash and checks; we do not take credit cards. We encourage complete payment at the time of signing. Purchasers can pay the balance in full within
30 days of signing with no interest or penalty.
At need purchases of burial space require payment in full before interment or
entombment.
We always desire the purchaser to visit the exact location of burial
space prior to signing the purchase contract.
6. Why should I prearrange my burial and funeral needs?
Prearranging for death is not a sign of hopelessness; it is an expression of
trust, faith and acceptance in the Resurrection of our Lord.
By pre-planning your funeral and burial, your wishes are made clear, only
needing implementation. Advance planning is the best way to avoid
heavier financial burdens later. Decisions are better made plan apart
from the emotions and stress of a death. Couples, who lived for years
together, should plan their burials together while is sound mind and body.
The Director will assist you and respect your preferences — personal,
family, emotional, financial and spiritual. We will make a full,
unhurried, in-depth disclosure, so you can make prudent and informed
choices in an atmosphere free from the anguish and grief that accompanies a death.
