Advance Planning

Planning a funeral immediately following the death of a family member can be a challenging process.  By taking the time, before a death occurs, to make sound decisions that truly reflect your wishes, you are saving your family the strain of trying to determine what you would have wanted.

Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory has a full-time Advanced Funeral Planning Counselor on staff. Davis Adams, a funeral director at our Bedford and Smith Mountain Lake locations, can address a wide variety of concerns such as, social security benefits, Veteran’s Benefits and Medicare, in addition to all aspects of funeral planning. Jeff Thaxton, at our Lynchburg location, is also a fully licensed insurance agent.

Death is a time of great sorrow, but it can also be a time of emotional confusion and financial strain. Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory can make available cost saving ways to design and pay for your funeral. Arranging your funeral ahead of time is a caring gesture and a legacy that your family will appreciate.

While many families choose to take advantage of the economic benefits of prepaying for their funeral services, prearrangement does not have to cost a dime.  The most important aspect of preplanning is leaving a clear set of instructions outlining your wishes.  We will be happy to take a few minutes to meet with you and record your service plan either at our conveniently located facility or at your home.
