Before the Time of Need
Advanced Planning
More families are making the wise and loving choice to make cemetery arrangements before the time of need. Planning in advance ensures that your wishes will be known and carried out, and it frees your loved ones from the stress and burden of having to make difficult decisions at the most difficult of times.
Families today are choosing to make their cemetery arrangements before the time of need as it helps eliminate many of the problems that often occur at a time of death.
Over the Span of Our Lives
We plan for many things, and it makes good sense. We plan our families. We plan for our children’s educations and weddings. We plan for vacations and our retirement. We plan because planning provides Peace of Mind.
We Usually Prepare for the Possible
We have home insurance because we might have a fire or theft. We have auto insurance because of a potential accident. We have medical insurance and other types of coverage because of what might occur.
All these forms of protection are important and it makes good sense to provide them for our families. Since planning for the possible is practical, doesn’t planning for what we all know is going to happen make better sense?
Doesn’t it Make Sense to Prepare for the Inevitable?
Our profession shows that about 67% of men die before women. That simply means that the majority of the time it is the wife or children that have to make these difficult decisions.
Also, when important decisions are not taken care of ahead of time, doubt and confusion can cloud the decision making process. Families who do not plan in advance must also face rising cost and the immediate financial aspects of making these decisions at such a trying time.

Determine the Type of Permanent Memorialization
There are three types of options for permanent memorialization today: ground burial, cremation memorialization, and above-ground entombment.
Today, more families are selecting the convenience of above ground mausoleum entombment. Mausoleum entombment has, for thousands of years, been a preferred type of burial because of its beauty and permanence. The mausoleums at Ferncliff have been the premier choice of crypt and niche memorialization for decades.
Select the Location and Financial Options
Ferncliff offers a number of different products for each type of memorialization and has a large number of financing options.
