We all have a natural tendency to put off thinking about death and a reluctance to plan for its certain eventuality. We forget that in doing this, we impose those we love the most the burden of making arrangements for us, and at a time when their bereavement is most acute. Too often, we have not even broached the subject with our loved ones, who are at a loss to know "what we would have wanted" when they must face the difficult choice of making arrangements. The families of our members have a much easier time.
Through simple membership, your instructions are kept on file along with biographical information required for filing a death certificate and carrying out your wishes. At the time of your death, your membership documents authorize us to perform our services as you have instructed. You may change any instructions you wish during your lifetime just by contacting us.
Once we receive your membership registration form and fee, we will provide you with a personalized membership card. In an emergency, it has our 24-hour Member Services phone number to be called. A single call puts our services in action at the time of need. The $30 member registration fee defrays the cost of setting up and maintaining your records. It is not refundable or an offset against the services you select. To get started, choose your preferred method of joining from the box on the right. |
