Understanding the Pre-Planning Process at Green Hills Memorial Park
with our TBE member, Nelly Igdal
This Sunday, February 4
9:30-10:30 a.m. at TBE
Pre-planning allows families to make important decisions about where and how loved ones will be memorialized.
During the pre-planning process, you will determine the budget you wish to spend and establish the terms for purchasing in advance. This allows your family to secure today’s prices and protects you against inflation and overspending.
Let’s review your plan together! Nelly Igdal will answer all your questions and make sure your family is fully protected.
Nelly Igdal will also be on-site at TBE on Sunday, February 11 from 9:00 a.m.-Noon to answer any of your questions!
