Why Advance Planning? 

We plan for every aspect of life. Having a family, vacations, weddings, retirement--all are planned. We prepare for what might happen such as fires, accidents and floods. But because most of us do not like to think about death, we avoid making important funeral decisions in advance. 

It’s a good idea to make funeral arrangements now and have peace of mind that everything’s taken care of in advance. Making decisions about your preferences can take an enormous burden off your survivors. Hamlett-Dobson can help you go over your options, from choosing the kind of ceremony you’d like to comparing merchandise prices and beyond. All of the ceremony, burial, or cremation arrangements can be made at one time in one of our locations or in the comfort of your own home. You can even begin the process on-line. 

What does it cost to pre-plan? 

We help you make your selections at no cost to you—advance planning can be done without prepayment. If you would like to pre-pay, Hamlett-Dobson will help you set up a trust account to cover funeral expenses. This account is yours and will be dedicated to paying your funeral expenses. Hamlett-Dobson does not employ commissioned salespeople and our staff will not pressure you into prepayment.
