Prearrangement of final expenses has quickly become part of the estate plan for today's families and Milano Monuments' free Cemetery Advisor is here to help.

Prearranging cemetery memorialization is one of the most requested services that Milano Monuments offers, and has become a common part of the estate plan for today's families.

Families prearrange memorialization for a variety of reasons, some emotional and some practical. Prearrangement has several advantages, including:

• The opportunity to make your wishes known ahead of time, to make decisions free of pressure, and to get the type and style of memorial you wish.

• The ability to lock in your cost against future increases. A pre-financed memorial is guaranteed against normal inflationary effects.

• The opportunity to relieve your family of the burden of making difficult decisions during their time of loss.

When you contact Milano's for prearrangement advice, your Milano's Cemetery Advisor will walk you through this simple process, at no charge to you.

Your Advisor will first ask for your cemetery preference, as the cemetery's rules often set the stage for other decisions. Secondly, you will be asked what type of memorial you would like, slant, raised, flush, etc., and your advisor will tell you if the cemetery you have selected will accept the type of memorial you have selected. Thirdly, the Advisor will help you pre-purchase your marker and select the style and color.

If you decide to move ahead with plans, we can coordinate all contracts, take a deposit, and, for markers that are pre-purchased, we can place the stone on your cemetery plot. Or, if you we, Milano Monuments can store your marker.
