Barre Granite Association
can help you find the right professional.

A Word About Pre-Need Planning: Just as you select a trained lawyer to work on your estate planning, it's important to use the services of trained professionals for other details. Seek out a memorial specialist who knows the granite industry. Retailers who sell Barre Granite memorials are experts in memorial design, personalization, and various religious and cultural preferences. Whether you like Greek revival or a more contemporary style, the right professional can help you choose an appropriate stone and design that best meets the needs of your family.

Here are seven reasons to plan for your memorial in advance:

1. No one likes to think about his or her own death, but failure to do so makes it more difficult on the bereaved family.
2. Choosing a family memorial is a joint decision. Why should someone be forced to make it alone?
3. The worst time to make a financial commitment is when there has been a death in the family.
4. By planning in advance, you protect your family from high-pressure sales tactics that can occur at a time when they are under emotional stress.
5. Advanced planning assures that your insurance will be used for the needs of your loved ones.
6. Advanced planning assures a memorial of the quality you desire.
7. There is no such thing as an "expected death". The time to act is now.
