Advanced Planning

Advanced Planning Considerations

We at Chesapeake Highlands Memorial Gardens believe in the gift of pre-planning. We offer flexible no interest financing for up to 2 years.

You can take 3 important steps today that will eliminate 3 more difficult steps tomorrow.

1. Have all important records and documentation gathered in a safe place.
2. Pre-arrange your cemetery services.
3. Pre-arrange your funeral services.

• Advanced-Planning allows you to make better choices and significantly reduces the difficult decisions that confront your loved ones at a time of loss.
• Eliminates Doubts – Spare your family the emotional stress of making decisions during a very difficult time.
• Advanced planning records your exact wishes. Many consider pre-arranging to be a final gift to those they love.
• Fact – The death of a loved one is a tragedy every household experiences. Most families will find themselves unprepared.

Decisions to be made:

1. Site Selection
2. Monument Selection
3. Vault Selection
4. Opening and Closing

Decide if Advanced-Planning is appropriate for you.

Emotional and financial considerations will determine what is best for each individual and family.

Reasons to consider waiting:

1. Financial insolvency
2. Extreme illness – not to experience the death twice
3. Moving and/or frequent re-location
4. Very young age
5. Intellectual or emotional impairment

If you need to sell existing cemetery property:
