Preplanning
PrePlanning

Funeral preplanning has become quite common, as more and more people have come to realize the benefits of making their arrangements in advance. Not only does preplanning insure that your wishes will be carried out, but it also spares your family from having to make the multitude of decisions necessary, especially at a time when they may be emotionally disadvantaged.

We are proud to have a caring professional on our staff named Shirley Lain who's personal ministry and passion is to educate all families and serve them during preplanning stages.

Shirley is a native California girl. She is a mother of 3 and grandmother of 3 (and counting) and it has been her privilege and pleasure to work with Heritage Memorial Services since 2001. She started her career in 1994 with a local cemetery working as a Family Services Counselor. Her knowledge of cemetery and mortuary completes her understanding of all aspects of making arrangements. Shirley is available to visit with you in the comfort of your home of in the office.

Shirley has helped hundreds of families through some of the very worst days of their lives. Many of those people call her a dear friend. She has no patience for the "sales" element in the funeral industry. Her mission is to inform people about their needs, their choices and mostly about their options. She takes the guess work out final arrangement. She has many glowing letters from people who she loved and guided through the maze of decisions. Just ask her, she'll show you!

Preplanning Information Form

Shirley understands that many people are uncomfortable in discussing their own arrangements, so she would like to help make this process as easy as possible. She has prepared below a simple online form that you may use to record your wishes.

Once completed, your information will be forwarded to our office where your wishes will be kept on file. If desired, we can also arrange to have Shirley meet with you in person, either at the mortuary or at your home, to answer any questions that you may have.
