With cremation, how you plan your final arrangements is only limited by your beliefs and needs. The Cremation Society of Indiana will guide you through both contemporary and traditional arrangements. When you have questions about memorialization, we like to give straightforward answers. Words like columbarium, niche, and retort are new to most people. When you contact us, be sure to ask for our cremation guide and full service price list .
PRE-ARRANGEMENT
Planning for the inevitable lessens the burden of making difficult financial decisions at a time of significant grief. Prearrangement lets you make wise choices at your convenience. Each of us should consider our responsibility to help our families and survivors make these hard choices.
Many people take pre-planning one step further, paying for cremation ahead of time. Pre-payment freezes the cost of services and protects you from future increases in price due to inflation or other factors. When you pre-pay, all funds are placed in an irrevocable fund in accordance with Indiana state law and are guaranteed, in writing, that our charges will never increase. There are a variety of affordable pre-payment programs that can be designed to meet your special needs.
