Pre-Planning
Losing someone is hard enough without a list of decisions arriving in the same week. Pre-planning is the most effective way to spare the people you love from making those choices under pressure, and from guessing at what you would have wanted. We are here to take that weight off your shoulders. Planning ahead with Lakeside Funeral Home & Cremation Care costs nothing to start, commits you to nothing, and can be revisited any time your circumstances change. Call us at (561) 557-4739 or stop by our office on Okeechobee Boulevard.
Why Families Plan Ahead
When nothing has been written down, a grieving family has to make a long series of decisions in a day or two, often while relatives disagree about what their loved one would have wanted. Planning ahead removes that entirely. Your wishes are on record, and the people you leave behind simply follow them.
It also protects your family financially. Costs are settled in advance rather than landing unexpectedly, and your family is never left guessing at how much to spend as a way of showing how much they cared.
Sitting Down With Us
A pre-planning conversation is unhurried and there is no obligation attached to it. We will walk you through burial and cremation options, what a service in our chapel involves, and what each choice actually costs today, so you can weigh them without pressure.
Bring a spouse, an adult child, or come alone. Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want and simply need it documented. Others want to talk through the possibilities first. Either way, we will meet you where you are and answer every question directly.
Keeping Your Wishes on Record
Once your decisions are made, we record them and keep them on file here at the funeral home. You get a copy for your own records, and we recommend telling at least one family member that the plan exists and that Lakeside is holding it.
Your plan can be updated whenever something changes. If you move away from Palm Beach County, most funding arrangements can transfer with you. Give us a call and we will explain how your particular arrangement would travel.
