Wheelan-Pressly Family of Funeral Homes of Rock Island and Wheelan-Pressly Family of Funeral Homes of Milan, Illinois

Preplanning

Planning makes sense. For the same reasons you write a will, make retirement plans, or buy life insurance, people feel that it is a good idea to plan for the future and make their funeral plans…before they are needed.

There are many benefits to preplanning:

Ensures your wishes are followed, something a will does not promise
Gives you time to make educated decisions
Opens up a conversation with your family about the future
Saves your family from having to make difficult decisions during a time of emotional stress
Helps your family avoid the tendency to “emotionally overspend”
If you choose, you can start a payment plan tailored to your needs
Gives you peace of mind knowing that you have done everything you can to help your family

To learn more about preplanning, or to begin recording your wishes, simply fill out the form below and we will be in touch with you soon. You can also contact us for more information or to set up an appointment with one of our funeral directors.
