Why should I plan ahead?

Planning ahead is the most loving gift you can give to your family and friends. Survivors want to honor the deceased’s last wishes. The survivors are often unaware of these wishes because they were never discussed or written down. By planning ahead for yourself you can ease your survivors' burden. You also ensure that your wishes will be carried out and that your choice for simplicity will not be mistaken for a lack of respect.

How do I join?

Joining is easy! Our application form is online. Print it, fill it in, choose a director from our list, and mail it to us with your $15 fee. Or you can call or email us and we will mail you the membership form, our brochure, and our list of participating funeral directors.

Once we receive the form and membership fee, we will notify your chosen funeral director and keep a copy of your wishes in our files. You will receive an annual newsletter and be invited to our annual meetings.

Why should I join now?

Death can come at any time. Do not leave the decision about the form and cost of funeral arrangements to others at a time of emotional crisis. Without a plan, funeral expenses have often been met by sacrificing a child’s education, the surviving spouse’s independence, or by creating a burden of indebtedness.
