Planning Today, Not Tomorrow...
Together, Not Alone...

The subject of funerals is never easy to discuss for anyone. Arranging a funeral in advance can be a worthwhile experience in light of the impact your own death will have on those you love the most. If you would like to begin a Pre-Planned funeral for either yourself or a family member, you may at any time speak with James Huf or James R. Donohue by calling 1-800-DONOHUE.

Pre-Planned funerals can also be arranged online from our website.

Many individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange and prefund their funerals before the need arises. Every year, more than one million people plan and fund their funerals ahead of time, and it's estimated
this number will grow as the population ages. By the year 2020, the number of people 50+ will grow by nearly 70%. As people age, they become more aware of the advantages of funeral planning.

The advantages of planning your funeral make sense.
  • Provides peace of mind
  • Relieves your loved ones unnecessary concern
  • Reflects your expressed wishes
  • Will not be a financial burden on your family
