Funeral Preplanning in Northern Kentucky
A written plan spares your family hard decisions at a hard time. It records the choices only you can make, from burial or cremation to the readings and music at your service.
Planning ahead doesn't mean paying ahead. If you would like to pay ahead too, you can choose a prepaid contract with the money held in trust or a preneed insurance policy, and we'll explain how Kentucky law protects your money.
We serve families in Ludlow and across Northern Kentucky, including Covington, Fort Wright and Park Hills, Villa Hills and Crescent Springs, Fort Mitchell and Edgewood, Erlanger and Elsmere, Independence and Taylor Mill, and Florence and Boone County.
How to get started
Book a meeting with Cheryl Jones Darpel, our preplanning specialist. She will walk you through each choice and put your wishes in writing, with no obligation.

When the time comes, they can spend those first days together instead of making arrangements under pressure.
Paying ahead is up to you
You can plan without paying anything now. If you do pay ahead, your family won't face the bill later.
Your plan can change
You can update your wishes whenever your life changes. Just call us.
