Preplanning for Dad Required Some Flexibility from the Gibbons Family. No Problem

“My father had pre planned his funeral, and literally every detail was planned out,” according to Joe Kenny.  When he passed, some circumstances changed. My parents moved, so the plan was for the Gibbons to direct the funeral at a location close to where they now lived. A ‘hiccup’ occurred that made that option undoable. “The Gibbons pivoted, changed locations and handled every detail on short notice to accommodate my dad’s wishes and those of our family.”

It’s important that people know that preplanned arrangements will take into account that things can change. A little or a lot. Between the time of originally pre planning arrangements and the time of death, when those wishes need to be carried out. It’s possible you no longer live in the same vicinity where the preplanning took place. No worries. The resources, assets and desires are all transferrable to wherever the services may take place, even with another funeral home. The hedge on inflation of a preplanned, pre-financed service remains intact, regardless of the location of final disposition. This provides great relief for surviving family members, knowing all of the important choices were made by the most pertainent person; their loved one.. In Joe’s case, the Gibbons Family took care of everything from beginning to completion in honoring his dad’s wishes. 

He knew they would.
