When it comes to modern day funeral services and the many options available to the client, having a prearranged funeral makes more sense now than ever before. Pre-need arrangements refer to planning and organizing a funeral in advance, before the death occurs. This allows individuals to make decisions about their own funeral or assist in planning the funeral of a loved one. This can include choices regarding burial or cremation, the type of service, casket or urn selection, and other personal touches. The value is that at the time of death, the grieving family does not have to plan the funeral or celebration of life.
Essentially, it gives your loved ones a roadmap to follow when the need arises, and emotions tend to take over. Why not organize one’s wishes, put it on paper, let family members know what you would prefer and alleviate as much stress as possible at the time of a death? Even under ideal circumstances, arranging for a loved one’s funeral can be a difficult and emotional task.
The Cooperative Funeral Home is committed to the families it serves by changing with the times and ensuring everyone can access affordable funeral services in the most comfortable and efficient way. For some, this means online, which is why the funeral home is proud to debut its online quoting portal.
Maybe it’s due to the recent pandemic, the lack of available stock or sizes in products, or just having to go out in public, but more and more folks seem to enjoy making all their choices online, so why couldn’t that be the case in funeral services? Being able to “shop” for services and products/merchandise online seems to be the way of the future.
Thanks to the new online arrangement portal, families needing pre-need or at-need service can efficiently plan the service they want, from anywhere. Whether you are looking for a traditional service with an open casket and visitation or a simple, affordable direct cremation or burial, you make the choices. It provides a wonderful option for those that want to price out and design everything on their own, or for those more comfortable planning, or starting, the process online.
As usual, there is no obligation when producing a quote online; it will simply let family members know your intentions and lock in your price for a specified period. The funeral directors at the Cooperative Funeral Home remain fully available by phone, e-mail, or with in-person visits to help families whether the choice is to plan fully online, in person, or a hybrid of the two options. It’s just one more way the Cooperative Funeral Home meets families’ needs.
