We serve families every day who have experienced the shock of an unexpected death. These are difficult circumstances at best, and we know we serve these families well…but there is an easier way. Please read this section, and then either click on our Online Pre-Planning form to start the process or request Information on Pre-Planning, or better yet, call our Pre-Arrangement Department at 815-226-2273. We’ll come visit you, and record your wishes.
Why? When pre-planning a funeral, all of your thoughts and wishes are planned for. Because you have worked directly with the funeral home, your family will know EXACTLY what you desire. At Fitzgerald Funeral Homes, once your decisions are made, we'll help you put it in writing. This will ultimately help avoid questions or potential family disputes. Your loved ones won't ask: "Did we do the right thing? Did we forget anything? Is this what s/he wanted? Did we spend too much?" All that is eliminated because you put it in writing.
Since 1960, the number of pre-planned funerals nationwide has increased by 1000%. Why such a dramatic increase in Pre-Planned Funerals? Go to our About Pre-Planning page to learn more.
