Why Plan Ahead?

Why Plan a Memorial Service Ahead of Time?

There’s a lot that goes into planning a funeral, but making those arrangements beforehand gives you time to consider all of your options and make sure that you’re covering all of the necessary details. When you choose to hold your memorial service in Lansing, MI or Eaton Rapids, MI at Skinner Funeral Homes, you can also enjoy peace of mind that our team will ensure everything is planned to the T. Planning ahead will give us the opportunity to map out the details while your family grieves.

If you're still feeling unsure, here are some of the most important reasons why planning ahead may be the best option.

It's Easy

Fill out a form or meet with a member of our staff to put your plan in place. Anyone can create a plan, at any stage in their life, and you always can make changes if you wish.



You Decide

Preplanning lets you create your own unique life celebration. Including your family in the planning process can help them feel connected to you both in life and in death, especially knowing that your arrangements reflect your desires.



Relieve Your Family’s Burden

Preplanning relieves your family of that burden and gives them more time and energy to focus on healing and remembrance.



You Can Prepay

Prepayment generally means that you save money by being protected from inflation and price changes. We deposit all prepayments into a trust fund, which remains until needed. Prepaying also provides peace of mind for your family, who won’t have to figure out your funeral expenses when the time comes.



What If I Move?

We keep a record of your preplanned arrangements and any prepayments, and they’re easily transferable to any funeral home in the United States.



Where Do I Start?

First, check out our preplanning checklist to help you consider all your possibilities. Then you can preplan online using our form to create your personalized arrangements or you can schedule a time to meet with our staff to discuss your options and make a plan. No matter what kind of memorial services in Lansing, MI or Eaton Rapids, MI you choose, know that planning your services at Skinner Funeral Homes may be the best option. Our team is prepared to take over the planning details at any time, and we are happy to help in any way we can. Learn more by contacting us today!
