No one likes to think about death, let alone plan for it. By pre-planning your funeral, you relieve your family of having to make important financial decisions during a period of great stress and grief-a time when people aren't thinking very clearly and may not know what to do because you never made your wishes known.

Pre-planning your funeral can be very informal, and as simple as jotting down your preferences and sharing your wishes with a family member. More formal arrangements in the form of a preneed contract can be set up with us and can be pre-funded through a bank trust agreement. The bank trust is an interest bearing account that allows families to pay todays prices for services rendered in the future. We at the W.J. Lyons Jr. Funeral Home will let the interest that grows in the account cover the additional costs of the funeral as years go by. Therefore a family will pay today's prices and the interest earned will cover future costs.
