Benefits of Pre-planning

Bohlender Funeral Chapel offers the ability to pre-arrange funeral or cremation services prior to death. This opportunity allows an individual and/or family to make arrangements reflecting their wishes before need occurs.

Any arrangements made in advance are held confidentially on file at our funeral home and are available to immediate family members at the time of need. This information is also available in advance to individuals or families needing to apply for certain types of financial assistance.

Emotional Benefits

• More Time to Consider Your Options – You and your family will have time to research your options and make well-informed decisions, without feeling rushed
• A Sense of Accomplishment – You’ll feel good knowing that these arrangements have been taken care of
• Fewer Family Concerns - Your surviving family members will have less to worry about in the event of your death

Financial Benefits

• The Prepayment Option - Pre-arrangements are offered whether or not individuals or families choose to pay for these services in advance. If payment in all or part is provided in advance, Bohlender Funeral Chapel will freeze the cost of services chosen, at today’s prices. Payment is held in trust at a Fort Collins bank and is then withdrawn when services are provided.
• Prepayment Flexibility - Payments to a pre-arrangement may be made in any amount, at any time, and are not subject to specific payment plans. If a pre-arrangement has not been paid in full at time of death, only the balance remaining is due. Trusts with Bohlender Funeral Chapel are irrevocable and can also be structured to meet certain life insurance requirements.
