Pre-planing offers you and your family a number of benefits:

Emotional benefits

• A sense of accomplishment – You’ll feel good knowing that these arrangements have been made.
• Fewer family concerns – Your survivors will have less to worry about in the event of your death.

Financial benefits

• The option to prepay – When you prepay, you lock in today’s prices. The Unity staff will explain payment methods and investment options to help you decide the beset arrangement for you and your family.
• Your family keeps more – When you prepay for your site and/or a complete memorial package, your estate will incur fewer expenses at the time of your death. More of your assets and life insurance proceeds will go directly to your family.
• Save the amount you need – Once you understand all the costs involved, you can earmark a portion of your savings to cover these costs.
