Planning Ahead

When you plan ahead, time is on your side — and so is peace of mind. Your foresight will be appreciated by those you leave behind for sparing them a weighty decision at a difficult time. Prearrangement ensures that loved ones know your final wishes and carry them out. Consult with Mount Hope’s knowledgeable personnel on the full range of choices, so that your ultimate decision honors your faith, your values and your legacy.
