Pre-Planning Your Memorial: Peace of Mind for Your Family
Thinking about your own memorial or a loved one’s can feel difficult, but pre-planning brings peace of mind, reduces stress for family members, and ensures your wishes are honored exactly as you want.
Why Pre-Plan?
- Relieve Burden on Loved Ones: During grief, families won’t have to make rushed decisions.
- Control the Details: Choose the design, inscription, size, material, and location ahead of time.
- Lock in Costs: Avoid future price increases; some families even pay in advance.
- Emotional Comfort: Knowing everything is set can provide closure and security.
How Pre-Planning Works at Memorial Arts
- Schedule a relaxed, no-pressure consultation (in-person, phone, or virtual).
- Discuss your vision: style (upright, flat, bench), inscriptions, symbols, faith elements.
- Review sketches and options — we customize until it feels right.
- Handle paperwork and cemetery rules in advance (we know all local requirements).
- Flexible payment plans available to make it affordable.
At Memorial Arts of Ridgewood, we’ve helped families pre-plan with compassion for over 60 years. We offer bilingual support (English/Spanish) and guide you at your own pace.
