Hamlett-Dobson Advance Funeral Planning

What is Advance Funeral Planning?
Many people choose to pre-plan their funerals. Pre-planning means making funeral arrangements in advance of the need for them. Hamlett-Dobson has assisted families with advance funeral planning since 1916.

How Much Does It Cost?
Advance planning at Hamlett-Dobson costs nothing. We help you make funeral plans and keep a record of your wishes at no charge.

Some families prefer to pre-pay for a funeral. They want to set aside funds in order to make it easier financially for their survivors.

Hamlett-Dobson provides several options for those who choose to pay in advance. Payment may be made in full and safeguarded in a trust that earns interest - offsetting the effects of inflation. Payment may also be made over time. In either case, Hamlett-Dobson protects your investment in an insured account. Our staff can help you select the method of payment that is best for you.

Who Can Best Assist With Advance Planning?
Advance planning involves more than selecting a casket. It designates trust in a professional who will make sure that every aspect of the funeral proceeds according to plan, and that survivors receive full support during the grieving process. For this reason, advance planing is best conducted with the help of a licensed funeral director. Only licensed funeral directors assist with advance funeral planning at Hamlett-Dobson.
