Unity Mortuary’s pre-planing counselors can meet you at your home or at one of our convenient locations to explain the many options offered by modern mortuary service providers, answer questions about costs and funding options, and assist with Social Security and veteran’s death benefits.

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

Emotional benefits

• More time to consider your options – You and your family will have time to explore your options and make well-informed decisions without feeling rushed.
• 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.
