The benefits for preplanning one's funeral are as personal and
varied as life itself. These may include:
- To relieve grieving relatives of responsibility and any unnecessary hardships;
- To become familiar with the many options, requirements and services available;
- To feel secure knowing that all details relating to one's funeral are documented;
- To personalize one's own funeral service, thus knowing his or her wishes will be fulfilled;
- To choose a funeral home;
- To record vital information that might otherwise remain unknown;
- To complete an estate plan or the final details of a Last Will and Testament.

It is not uncommon for persons terminally ill
or incapacitated to have their funeral preplanned by a third
party (executor, next-of-kin, legal representative or friend)
with, or in many cases, without their knowledge. This reduces
the emotional strain of having to make arrangements at short
notice.
In a case where the subject of preplanning arrangements is in
poor health and is unable to sign any documentation, then the
third party should clearly identify to the Funeral Director his
or her relationship to the subject, and his or her authority to
make such arrangements.
Bixby Funeral Service offers Pre-Planning Services for Bixby, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Sapulpa, Mounds, Glenpool, Coweta and other Tulsa area cities.
