Getting Started With Your Arrangements

Although there are many choices to consider when making funeral arrangements, one aspect of the arrangement consultation deals with gathering statistical information for forms and permits required by law and also biographical information needed for the obituary if so desired. We suggest that you print this blank form and take a moment to fill out as much of the form as possible. Some of the items may not pertain to the services you request, but this is a start and will help the person or persons responsible for finalizing your arrangements to concentrate on other important decisions that have to be made. This information may also be sent to us here at the funeral home to be put on file for future reference. This is only a guideline for information needed by the funeral director.
