Pre-Arrangements

Pre-planning allows you to make decisions in advance about every aspect of your service. You can choose burial or cremation, select the type of service that reflects your life, and include traditions that are important to you and your loved ones. Planning ahead can also help manage costs, as arranging today may protect against rising prices in the future. Most importantly, pre-arranging provides peace of mind to your family, giving them guidance and support during a time of loss. 

Some of the benefits of pre-planning include:

• Ensuring your wishes are clearly known so loved ones do not have to make difficult decisions in the moment.
• Giving you time to make thoughtful choices that truly reflect your life and values.
• Reducing financial stress by locking in today’s prices for services and merchandise.
• Bringing comfort and clarity to your family and friends in Lake County and surrounding areas when they need it most. 

At Orlando-Donsante-Previte Funeral Home, we are committed to guiding you with care and understanding throughout the pre-planning process. Our team will meet with you to discuss your options and answer all questions, helping you make decisions that reflect your personal wishes. We provide clear explanations of all costs so there are no surprises, and we record your choices to ensure they are honored when the time comes. Plans can always be updated to reflect changing wishes, giving you continued peace of mind. 

As you think about your arrangements, it can be helpful to reflect on questions such as:

• Do you prefer burial or cremation?
• Would you like a traditional funeral service, a memorial gathering, or something personalized?
• Should the service be public or private, or a combination?
• Are there particular readings, music, or religious or cultural traditions you want included?
• Where would you like the service held, at our funeral home in Wickliffe, a church, or another meaningful location?
• What personal touches, such as photos, videos, flowers, or favorite poems, would you like included? 

Getting started is simple. Contact us at Orlando-Donsante-Previte Funeral Home to schedule a consultation. We will walk you through your options, answer your questions, and help you explore what feels right. Once your decisions are made, we carefully record your plan and store it securely while providing you with a copy to share with a trusted family member. When the time comes, your loved ones will be able to carry out your wishes with confidence, focus on honoring your life, and find comfort knowing your plans were made thoughtfully.
