Prearrangement

One day, a great deal of vital information about you will be needed by those entrusted to making your funeral arrangements. By prearranging you can ensure that information is on file when your family needs it, allowing them to spend less time on gathering information and more time together.

By prearranging you can take the time to make the best decisions for you and your family, sparing them from having to make difficult decisions during that very emotional time.

As funeral professionals, we can walk you through this process and ensure everything is taken care of. By keeping your information on file with us, your family will only need to update the information at the time. This will significantly decrease their anxiety and stress during that time.

If you take a moment to put yourself in the place of your loved ones it is easy to see why having plans already in place would be so helpful to them. At the time of death, most funeral decisions need to be made within hours. By prearranging you can take your time and make these decisions in an unhurried and thoughtful way.

Although not required, prearranging also allows you the option to prefund your services. By making financial plans now you can ensure those funds will be available when they are needed and your family will not have additional stress added to their grief. Reamer Galer Funeral Home participates with the Michigan Funeral Directors Association Trust Fund. This fund is monitored by the state regulators and is a secure place to put your funeral funds, preventing them from being eroded by long term care expenses.
