Final Arrangements Preplanning
Can Save Nearly 50% the Costs of a Funeral, Cemetery or Cremation
A
Final Arrangements Information Sheet
Deciding to
make funeral, cemetery or cremation final arrangements yourself requires a
level of maturing and sophistication in life. The funeral, cemetery and
cremation arrangements'; information, advice,
guidance and tutorials available here at The Final Arrangements Network
are meant to be helpful and as easy to use as we knew how to make them. The planning pages at this site are a good
deal more detailed
than you may have previously encountered when looking at a preplanning questionnaire
or promotional piece on the Internet or from a cemetery or funeral home.
Our reasoning for the detail, based
on experience, is to present a majority of the
actual decisions and necessary information that would face
someone making final arrangements at the time of a loved one's death.
Therefore the final arrangements
forms we present,
hopefully give you a realistic picture which you can use in creating your personal
final arrangements, yourself, without filtering through sales
presentations and telemarketing you would inevitably endure any other way.
Using our learning center's directory
will give you important things to consider as you make your final arrangements.
You will also find
valuable information and a touch of opinion from us at FAN about important money
decisions that could add up to substantial savings, as much as 50% and more are
not unusual, when the actual items or services are bought. Here is a list of
those special savings areas you need to consider to cut the high cost of final
arrangements. You will find, we have included links to other sites on these
subjects where you can also get help or
actually purchase products or services:
You can use any of
the questionnaires for each of the areas that you choose to make final
arrangements for and by just filling in these forms and clicking a submit button
you will get a completed page you can print out and keep as part of your
permanent final arrangements plan. There is no charge and none of the
information you submit is ever kept by us for any reason. Visit either our preplanning
center to decide how you want to get the forms. You can choose; Online,
