Mom wanted to plan and pay for her funeral ahead of time. Yesterday we went to Cloverdale Mortuary, they own Terrace Lawn Memorial Gardens where dad is buried and where mom will be buried beside him. It was very expensive, but didn't think we had a choice. In talking to friends we found you can go through any mortuary, and they could take care of everything. Fortunately we hadn't paid for anything at Cloverdale. Our friends recommended Zeyers Mortuary as two of them had had family funerals through them.
Mom got just what she wanted and a better casket for $3,000.00 less. It's cruel that they try to take you at such a trying time. When I called Cloverdale back, the guy remembered he did have cheaper caskets and cheaper services, but we still went through Zeyers. Tough thing to think about and a tough thing for me to do, but in the end it will be easier with everything preplanned.
