Pre-Arrangements
Some people choose to leave their families prepared for their death by making prearrangements--a detailed explanation of your desires and wishes concerning your funeral.
At the time of pre-arrangements you may make as many or as few decisions as you are comfortable with. You may choose to just give some biographical information about yourself that we would need for newspaper notices or legal paperwork. On the other hand you may choose to make decisions about some of the following: type of service, music, selection of merchandise, cemetery, etc.
Know that the option to pre-pay your funeral is also available. The funds are placed in a interest bearing trust in the funeral recipient's name. Click here to learn more about the NJ Prepaid Funeral Trust Fund.
