|  Aspen Cremation and Burial Service Inc. offers complete pre-planning services. You can visit our offices or a representative would be happy to come to your residence. We guarantee a no pressure approach. Pre-planning advantages Pre-planning protects your loved ones from the stress and anxiety of funeral arranging in their time of need. You can compare funeral services provided by other mortuaries, enabling you to make knowledgeable decisions. We provide a savings up to 50% or more than traditional funeral homes on most funeral services. Choice In the state of Nebraska, cremation is considered final disposition. Burial, scattering, storing and placement in mausoleum niches are common options. Our funeral home works with all cemeteries, coordinating any type of burial or cremation service. Being a fully licensed funeral home allows us to work with the top manufacturers of caskets, burial vaults and cremation urns including Aurora Casket Company, Batesville Casket Company, Wilbert Vault Company and Genesis Enterprises Cremation Urn Company. Prepaying Advantages By paying in advance, you insure that funds are available for your funeral service. The cost of funeral and cemetery arrangements are continually increasing. You can freeze today's prices by preplanning final arrangements. All costs for goods and services provided by Aspen Cremation and Burial Service Inc. are guaranteed to never increase from the time your preplanning funeral arrangement contract is signed and payment made. Aspen also coordinates other needs and services for the family. These include honorariums for clergy, organists and soloists, death certificates and obituaries. They are called "accommodation items". Since we cannot control these prices, they are not included in funeral preplanning. Accommodation items chosen should be paid for at the time of need. We will assist you with the current costs of such items so you can ascertain a possible "TOTAL" cost of a funeral or services needed. Making Comparisons It is important when making pre-arrangements to compare prices. Not all funeral homes are the same when it comes to price, service or promises given. The costs of services and merchandise can vary dramatically from mortuary to mortuary. Pre-arranging allows a family to make wiser choices than at the time of need. You are entitled by law to be provided with a general price list upon request. Some funeral homes, including Aspen, even provide price options on services and merchandise. Finances Your monies are placed into a trust fund at a local bank and held there until the time of death. The "purchaser" whose name is on the trust, pays taxes on the interest earned. This earned interest is received by the funeral establishment to offset any price increases that may have occurred since arrangements were made. Contact us today for more information. |
