The death of a loved one can be the most difficult experience of a person's life. In order to help relieve your family of the emotional and financial burden associated with funeral planning, you could allow the professionals at Don Grantham Funeral Home assist you in making those arrangements in advance. It is essential to know that a funeral can be pre-arranged without making a financial commitment. With this in mind, consider the following advantages:

•	Relieve survivors of an emotional burden - planning a funeral involves a number of decisions that all too often are left to surviving loved ones in their time of grief.
•	Express your own wishes - a properly documented pre-arrangement clearly expresses the types of service, merchandise and any special requests pertaining to the deceased. We guarantee that these wishes will be carried out in a professional and precise manner.

Funeral expenses are determined by the selections of each particular family. As licensed pre-arrangement counselors, we will explain the different options available to your family. For those individuals unable to relinquish payment in full, we offer affordable prepayment plans to fit every budget. Whatever the case may be, consider the following advantages to pre-funding funeral expenses:

•	Pre-arranged funds are not considered an asset when applying for federal assistance.
•	Pre-arranged funds can be non-taxable.
•	Pre-arranged funds can be transferred to any funeral home nationwide.
•	Safety and security - It is the legal obligation of any funeral home to place pre-funded funeral expenses into a trust account and/or some form of insurance vehicle. At Don Grantham Funeral Home, our licensed professionals will offer suggestions and guidance as to which method may best suit your needs.

In conclusion, the decision to make advanced funeral arrangements is becoming more popular with each passing year. By the year 2010, half of the funerals performed will have been planned in advance. While many people remain uncomfortable with the idea of death and dying, it is a fact of life that all of our families will face. When this time comes, shouldn't you be prepared? Ultimately, your family will thank you for choosing pre-arrangement and the caring professionals of Don Grantham Funeral Home.
