At Nelsen Funeral Home, our experienced team is here to answer your questions and guide you through planning for the future. Every plan is unique, reflecting the individual wishes and needs of each person. We are committed to helping you create a personalized plan that ensures everything is carried out exactly as you intend. In this article, we’ll highlight the many benefits of planning ahead.
The cost of living keeps going up. The cost of your final plans doesn’t have to.
U.S. prices have increased nearly 110% over the past 30 years. Like many things, costs will continue to increase, so planning your final arrangements now is a wise decision. By doing so before the time of need, you can protect your loved ones against rising costs. Additional benefits to preplanning include:
Receiving a price Guarantee that protects against rising costs and can be locked in at today’s rate.
Affordable monthly payment plans that make it easy to budget for final arrangement expenses.
Peace of mind for your loved ones by making your wishes known ahead of time so they are spared the extra stress of guessing.
Relocation flexibility for prepaid funeral plans, which can be transferred to any qualifying Dignity Memorial® locations if you move more than 75 miles away.
You might wonder-what sets Nelsen Funeral Home apart?
As part of the Dignity Memorial® network, we offer Travel Protection for those who plan ahead. This benefit helps ease the burden on families by covering the cost of returning a loved one home if a death occurs more than 75 miles away. Without protection, transportation expenses can reach up to $8,000 within the U.S. and $20,000 internationally. Travel Protection provides peace of mind wherever your travels may take you.
At Nelsen Funeral Home, we offer a complimentary Personal Planning Guide designed to help you organize your funeral wishes and important financial and personal details. For your family, it eliminates uncertainty, making it easier to know who to contact, where to find documents, and how to access accounts. We also offer a Veterans Planning Guide, giving veterans the opportunity to document key dates and milestones and complete important benefits applications ahead of time.
We take pride in being trusted experts in veterans benefits, helping families understand their options and navigate the application processes with ease. Our preplanning team has extensive experience with national and state veterans cemeteries, including Arlington National Cemetery. By planning ahead, many details can be thoughtfully arranged, giving you confidence that everything will be carried out according to your wishes.
A source of comfort we hope you’ll never need is our Child and Grandchild Protection Program. We extend the same level of care to all unmarried children and grandchildren under 21, at no extra cost. Should the unthinkable occur, we will provide services and merchandise similar to your preplanned arrangements, ensuring your family is supported without the additional financial burden.
At Nelsen Funeral Home, our dedication to professional service with a personal touch truly sets us apart. We support families with care and compassion, offering peace of mind during life’s most difficult times-including helping you plan ahead for your future.
