Pre-Need Planning

We recommend pre-need planning as it provides benefits to both you and your family.

• Pre-need planning allows you the time necessary to carefully evaluate funeral service providers and area cemeteries, thus insuring you select the funeral director and cemetery that best suit your needs.
• Pre-need planning permits you to establish and work within financial parameters which meet your needs and desires.
• Pre-need planning relieves the surviving family members of the burdensome task of making heartfelt decisions while under the strain of bereavement.

Oak Lawn Cemetery provides an internal 'interest-free' finance program. The program is designed to help you to plan and budget your personal finances, while saving the added expenses of interest or finance charges.

From the cemetery's perspective items of expense can include:

• The purchase of burial space(s) such as an earthen burial space, a mausoleum crypt space or a columbarium cremation niche space
• Perpetual care costs
• The expense related to opening and closing a site
• In some cases, the purchase of a bronze memorial or plaque

Some restrictions apply, refer to Services for pricing information.
