Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pre-Planning?
Pre-planning is simply making your funeral arrangements before the need actually arises.
Am I Too Young To Plan Ahead?
No, Pre-planning is for anyone who wishes to do so, such as married couples, single people who live alone, retirees, or anyone else who wishes to take away the burden of making stressful funeral arrangements when a loved one has passed away.
Is Paying Ahead Beneficial?
Yes. Paying ahead for your funeral ensures that everything you want is obtainable because the funds are set aside and the cost of your funeral is locked in so your family never has to worry about paying additional monies at the time of your funeral.
What Are The Costs Involved?
The cost of preplanning can vary according to your choice of funeral arrangements. Here at Sommerville Funeral Services we offer funeral services priced to meet your needs.
What If I Already Have A Life Insurance Policy?
Having a life insurance policy should not determine if you pre-plan and pre-pay for your funeral. The funds in your life insurance policy do not grow in order to meet tomorrow’s cost of a funeral; whereas funds set aside in a pre-need insurance policy guarantee your family never has to pay additional money at the time of your funeral.
