Grandparents have a special way of passing things down; favorite recipes, family stories, traditions and lessons that stay with us for generations... and even that stack of old newspapers they were saving for reasons only they understood.

There are some things, however, your family shouldn't have to inherit.

Preplanning your funeral allows you to make your own choices and record your wishes, giving your loved ones fewer decisions to make during an already difficult time.

This Grandparents Day, consider passing down something else that's valuable: peace of mind.

We're here to help you get started when you're ready. Learn more about the benefits of preplanning:

Twenty-five years have passed since September 11, 2001, but the lives lost, the courage shown, and the countless acts of selflessness that followed remain in our hearts.

Today, we pause to remember those who never came home, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders and ordinary citizens who stepped forward when they were needed most.

25 years later, we remember.

On September 9, 1776, the Continental Congress officially began using “United States of America” in place of “United Colonies.”

It was a small change in wording with a much bigger meaning: thirteen individual colonies were beginning to identify themselves as one united nation.

250 years later, it’s a name recognized around the world.

Every family has its debates. Who cheated at the board game. Who gets Grandma’s recipe book? Who was actually Mom’s favorite…
Your funeral wishes don’t need to be one of them.

Preplanning gives you the opportunity to make your preferences known ahead of time, so your family doesn’t have to guess, or debate, when the time comes.

When you’re ready to start the conversation, we’re here to help. https://pre-planning-locator.pages.dev/

You may have noticed that vehicles traveling in a funeral procession often have their headlights on, even in the middle of the day.

The reason is simple: headlights help other drivers recognize that the vehicles are traveling together as part of a funeral procession. Depending on state and local laws, funeral processions may also receive certain right-of-way considerations.

If you encounter a funeral procession on the road, a little patience can go a long way. Allowing the vehicles to remain together is a small gesture of respect for a family accompanying their loved one to their final place of rest.

Sometimes, the simplest acts of courtesy can mean more than we realize.

Did you know the Civil War had a major influence on modern funeral practices in the United States?

While embalming had existed in other cultures for centuries, its widespread use in America began during the Civil War. Many soldiers died far from home, and embalming made it possible to preserve their bodies for the journey back to their families.

After President Abraham Lincoln was embalmed following his death, public awareness and acceptance of the practice grew even more. Over time, embalming became a more common part of funeral service in the United States and continues to be used today when families choose it.
