Planning ahead is a concept basic to most persons. For example, we plan ahead for almost all things, such as birth, graduation, a wedding, vacations, and retirement. Furthermore, most people also plan for the end of life by writing wills and planning for one’s own funeral service.
By providing caring and thoughtful guidance, Breit-Hawkins & Gladden Funeral Home offers options, choices, and more importantly, honest answers to questions about planning a dignified funeral, burial or cremation service, reflecting the life of a unique individual. By planning in advance, a person can communicate his or her wishes, and relieve survivors of difficult and sometimes emotional decisions during a stressful time. This allows survivors to focus on caring for those left behind. The financial benefits of planning for this inevitability can also be of significant importance. The plans available from Breit & Hawkins Funeral Home allow funds to be set aside, and guaranteed, with no further cost increases to be borne by survivors. Prearranging your funeral is a natural progression in life. At some point, all of us will be faced with the loss of a loved one. We want to honor that person in a dignified, caring way. The prearrangement process gives you the opportunity to make decisions in a businesslike, calm atmosphere. You have the time to make choices not dictated by emotion or time limits. To insure that your wishes are properly honored, consider the advantages of prearranging with Breit-Hawkins & Gladden Funeral Home through our pre- arrangement partner, National Prearranged Services.
Prearranging with Breit-Hawkins & Gladden Funeral Home, and National Prearranged Services insures you will be remembered as you wish. By completing our Gift of Love booklet, all the necessary information is available. You may indicate emergency contacts, the location of important records and detail your biographical information.

The Gift of Love booklet is also the place to express your final wishes; your choice of who will conduct your ceremony, music, pallbearers, merchandise and type of burial. Planning relieves your family members of making very personal decisions at the time of need.
When you prearrange with Breit-Hawkins & Gladden Funeral Home, you receive our descendant protection plan. This coverage is included as part of the prearrangment at no additional cost. If you should lose a child, grandchild, or great-grandchild who is under the age of 21 years and not married, a funeral of equal value to that of the prearrangment will be provided with no effect to your prearrangement.
Our prearrangments go where you go. Your plan is transferrable to any funeral home in the United States or Canada, should you relocate. If the cost of the funeral is higher at the transferred funeral home, you are not responsible for the increase. We are.
Prearranging today protects you and your family from inflation tomorrow. The inflation factor is built into our policies; your at need expenses will be covered.
Our prearrangments offer a variety of payment plans to fit most lifestyles. Choose the payment plan that’s right for you, or pay for your prearrangment in full.
No extensive health questionnaire or physical exam is required. No one will be turned down, and there is no waiting for return documents.
