• Pension or Annuity: We contact pension companies, IRA administrators and Annuity companies to help you apply for continuing benefits or lump sum death benefits.
   
• Life Insurance: We contact life insurance companies and help you fill out the sometimes difficult paperwork.
   
• Select an appropriate headstone: We will help you with all of the design work and do the “running around” for you.
   
• We also provide information about health insurance, what to do with checking accounts, credit cards, tax abatements, wills and trusts, probate, and other areas of concern to the survivor.
   
• Best of all, these services are included at no additional cost. They are our way of extending the care we provide to our families beyond the funeral service and cemetery.
