Pre-planned funeral arrangements are an opportunity for individuals to personally handle their final arrangements and eliminate the financial and emotional stresses that often burden family members when they lose a loved one.

For some individuals, it is an immediate necessity, as some extended care facilities require residents to secure funds for funeral expenses, before all personal finances are exhausted due to health care costs. For others, funeral pre-planning is a way to tell our children, spouses and extended family that we care and want to reduce the number of decisions needed and funds involved with a funeral. Pre-planning gives families precise, clear-cut instructions with a piece of mind that arrangements are made exactly the way a family member would have wanted.

At Schmaedeke Funeral Home, we take great comfort in offering Forethought Funeral Planning and National Guardian Life Insurance Options to our families. Both are trusted and well-respected names within the funeral Industry.
