Advanced planning for your funeral allows you to make decisions about your final arrangements during your lifetime. Mitchell Funeral Homes will work with you to document your plans to ensure your wishes will be carried out based on your specifications.

You can pre-plan any or all of your funeral services, from the selection of a monument, to the order of your service, to gathering information for legal documents. Any planning you do ahead of time will provide clarity for your family members and avoid unnecessary stress.

Here are some things to consider when planning a funeral:

  • Place of service/visitation

  • Clergy officiating

  • Suggested scripture, poetry, or readings

  • Organist, musicians, or vocalist

  • Family member participation in funeral service

  • Casket pallbearers

  • Memorial contributions

  • Flower choices

  • Pictures for memorial folders and/or video tribute

  • Final disposition (whether burial, cremation, other)

  • Name and location of cemetery
