  • Pre-planning gives you total peace-of-mind. It is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can leave your family to help them cope with their loss.

A Simple 3- Step Process
Planning a funeral is really as easy as 1-2-3. At MacAlpine Funeral Home, our funeral director and staff will walk you through each step and even make suggestions if you are not sure about something.

Step 1 - Gathering Information
This is just a matter of putting down all your biographical information about your life, your career, and your family. All the facts you'll want everyone to know and remember. This is also a good time to write down all the personal information that will make your funeral more meaningful, things like hobbies and special interests.

Step 2 - Making Arrangements
With this step, you'll sit down with us and make choices about things like burial or cremation, what type casket or urn, the services you want, and other details. We will explain your options, outline the costs, and make recommendations, if you like. It's painless, it's easy, and it only takes about an hour.

Step 3 - Funding the Funeral
Various payment plans are available, which let you completely alleviate the financial burden on your family. We will work with you to set up a plan to fit your budget.

For more information, please contact us. We would be happy to answer your questions and/or schedule an appointment to discuss our pre-planning services with you.
