Pre-Arrangement
Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things anyone must go through. Taking time to discuss with your family your final wishes will make a significant difference when the time comes.
An ever widening segment of the population is taking the time to pre-plan their own and/or their loved ones funeral services. Why? Quite simply, many people wish to have input into their own tribute. Others wish to lessen the burden on surviving family and friends who would otherwise be left with arrangement duties.
We at Armstrong Funeral Home are here to guide and assist you through your decision making process. We want to ensure that the services you choose are comfortable and right for your loved ones because the funeral is for the living.
The funeral is a celebration of life, a time for family and friends to come together to share memories. We work with you and your family to personalize the service by choosing appropriate music, photos and personal items.

Information which will be required at the time of the pre-arrangement is Social Insurance Number, parents names and places of birth and the name of the executor of the estate.
While pre-arranging is very considerate emotionally, it also makes good financial sense. Services can be pre-paid at today's rates, allowing for significant cost savings.
Pre-financed funerals are held either in Trust with Guaranteed Funeral Deposits of Canada or in an insurance policy. Interest earned stays with the principle to fund any increase in the cost of the funeral. All deposits and policies are protected.
