A Simple Three Step Process

Step 1 : Gathering Information

This is just a matter of putting down all of your biographical information about your life, your career and your family. All the facts you'll want everyone to know and remember. This is also a good time to write down all the personal information that will make your funeral more meaningful, things like hobbies and special interests.

Step 2 : Making Arrangements

With this step, you'll sit down with us at Bass & Gasper and make choices about things like burial, cremation, what type of casket or urn, the services you want, and other details. At Bass & Gasper we will explain all your options, outline the costs, and make recommendations, if you like. It's painless, it's easy, and it only takes about an hour.

Step 3 : Funding the Funeral

At Bass & Gasper we offer Forethought® funeral planning, which helps alleviate the funeral burden on your family. We will work with you to set up a plan to fit your budget. Should you move or relocate, your plan is transferable to a funeral home in your new community.

Today's Personalized Funerals

People today want more from funerals. They want them to be a reflection of the individual and a celebration of life. Personalized funerals are more meaningful-a chance to think about what made the person special and unique. A funeral might include:

Favorite music or songs
Reminders of hobbies or special interests
A lifetime of photo memories
Special poems or readings
A customized casket or urn

But a personalized funeral is more involved than a standard service, and requires prior planning. It's very important to write down the details ahead of time, and share them with family members.
