The average person makes 153,000 decisions every day. Every move you make, every action, and every choice is a decision. Decisions apply when making funeral arrangements. Always take your time, evaluate what is essential for your family, request a second opinion, and then make a smart decision.

Knowing when to speak up Is especially essential if you are making funeral arrangements. Speak up and always get an exact quote for each and every funeral service choice you agree to approve. Don't assume! Always Speak Up!

People will not be going to the funeral services of the past... This is indeed a new beginning. We need to hold ourselves to account.

Traditional funeral services have with all of the new now and future gathering edicts... Have quickly moved to the present.

When making funeral arrangements you need a personal "Action Plan." Your plan will remove major stress factor when faced with the loss of a loved one. Pre-planning and getting a second quote are two things that will guard you from missteps such as overpaying for funeral services.

What do you want your "Legacy" to be? If you were going to write your own obituary...what would you say about you? What do you care about? What is truly important to you? How would you best want to be remembered?

Now is indeed a time for reflection and renewal. The fact is... you are here now! Now What?
