Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best

Nobody wants to think about the day they leave this life. There’s too much left to enjoy, too many people to share feelings with, and to laugh with. Still, we all have to leave sometime. And the best gift you can give the people you love are the good memories of you; not the stress of making funeral arrangements, and having to find a way to pay for them.  In just one afternoon you could have the peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of - each detail exactly the way you want it, so your funeral will be a tribute to the people you love as well as to the life you lived.

It’s simple, and begins with our Personal Wishes Organizer. We understand it can be difficult to get started. So we’ve made it easy with this step-by-step guide that helps you through the process.

Besides relieving stress, anxiety, and confusion, planning ahead lets you create the perfect memorial for your family.

Funerals - More Answers than Questions

Life’s Moments... Memories of home, family, friends. Those special moments we recapture when time seems to stand still and we find ourselves considering just how blessed we are.

Mark Heiner and the staff at Heideman Hughes Mortuary are committed to helping bereaved family members and loved ones recreate those memories in their time of need. Compassionate understanding is the hallmark of our unique community service programs. We know first-hand just how difficult making funeral arrangements at a time of need can be, both emotionally and financially.

We can help you put together a plan in advance that will leave your loved ones with guidance and support at a time when they need it most. This will ensure that things are in order so that there will be more answers than questions. An important part of a pre-arranged funeral plan is discussing and recording some of your “life’s moments.” This will also assist you in helping your family create and be part of a personal and meaningful service, where the stories of a unique life will be shared.

Mark the Mortician - Advanced Funeral Planning Reduces Stress

It’s not an easy subject, but seniors and adults in general may want to start talking about their funeral plans today.  After reading the news/obituaries for Davy Jones, Andrew Breitbart, (only three years my senior) and others, many people like me will have a reality check and may wish to inquire about and possibly plan their own funerals so their families won’t have to.  Seniors preplan and prepay for their funerals for a variety of reasons, such as estate planning or Medicaid purposes, but I have to say the reason I hear most often is to relieve their survivors from the many details and decisions associated with arranging a funeral.  Death can be a very stressful time. Not only is there grieving, but often traveling, legal issues and the many decisions that must be made in a short period of time.  If you choose to prepay for your funeral selections, then the financial considerations have been addressed as well.  Planning ahead can ease emotional and financial stress, and also provides you with the time needed to make practical and detailed decisions that reflect your preferences.  It puts you in control and ensures your wishes will be known, and it spares your loved ones the anxiety of making critical decisions at a time when they are least prepared. But, most importantly, is the peace of mind in knowing that when the time does come, you have eliminated the emotional and financial burden that occurs when arrangements have not been made in advance.

If you've got questions about advanced funeral planning, give me a call, I'd be happy to help.
