There is and the opinions on which to choose vary. First the difference: ‘pre-planning’ is making choices on
the type of service and the options you want, as well as selecting the Funeral Home and Director and sharing your plans with them if you choose;
‘pre-arranging’ is the same, but in this case you actually contract with the Funeral Home and Director and both you and the Funeral Home are bound to the
services and prices negotiated.
Which is better? That depends on your particular situation. In general, we strongly urge ‘Pre-Planning.’ Why? Our mission is to give you the flexibility to do what’s right
emotionally and economically. We do that best by recommending ‘Pre-Planning’ over ‘Pre-Arranging'.
We protect pricing and funding through our AM Best Rated Insurance Company. In some cases we will recommend
‘pre-arrangements’ if it suits your particular situation. In general, we opt towards ‘pre-planning’ and the future flexibility it
offers. (Please see, Pre-Planning vs. Pre-Arranging
for a more detailed discussion and also what AARP
has to say on the matter.)
By now you’ve given some thought to

most stressful part of ‘pre-planning a funeral’ is behind you.
