Pre-Arrangements

Plan Ahead for Peace of Mind

Pre-planning your funeral provides peace of mind for you today and relieves your family of difficult decisions tomorrow. Our pre-planning specialist, Eric Stadler at our funeral homes in Little Chute, Freedom, and Kaukauna, Wisconsin, is here to guide you through the process with care and expertise.

Most of us prepare for what is possible, but rarely for the inevitable. Today, more people are choosing to arrange their funerals in advance, ensuring their wishes are honored while easing the emotional and financial burden on loved ones.

Why Pre-Arrange a Funeral?

Pre-arranging a funeral offers several benefits:

• Ensures your wishes are honored – Specify the details of your service in advance.
• Eases the burden on loved ones – Spare your family from making difficult decisions during a time of grief.
• Provides financial security – Lock in costs with a pre-funded plan to protect against rising expenses.

What’s Involved in Funeral Pre-Planning?

Pre-planning allows you to make thoughtful choices about:

• Burial or cremation preferences
• Visitation services (viewing, wake, or reception)
• Service location (funeral home, place of worship, cemetery)
• Special considerations, such as eco-friendly ("green") burials
• Religious or secular ceremonies
• Music, readings, and personal touches to reflect your life
• Floral arrangements, memorial donations, or tribute preferences

Our pre-planning specialist will meet with you—either at our funeral home or in the comfort of your home—to discuss your options and help you create a plan that reflects your wishes. You may choose to review costs or simply focus on planning the details.

Once your arrangements are finalized, we will securely keep your records on file at no charge, ensuring your plan is available when needed.

What Does It Cost to Pre-Arrange a Funeral?

Pre-arranging a funeral is free—you can make your choices today without any financial commitment. However, many people choose to pre-fund their funeral to alleviate financial stress on their loved ones.

We offer inflation-proof and price-guaranteed pre-funded plans through Funeral Directors Life Insurance Company, ensuring your funeral costs are covered at today’s prices. Pre-funding options typically involve purchasing an insurance policy or trust, which increases in value over time to keep up with rising costs. We also provide traditional payment programs for flexibility.
