Pre-planning

Redlands Crematorium and Memorial Gardens also offer trained staff to discuss with you our pre-arranged & pre-planned memorial and funeral options. This allows you to ensure that your wishes and memorial choices are recorded.

At an emotional and confusing time, your family will then have the comfort of knowing that your wishes are being carried out, without the financial worries on those left to make the arrangements.

Factors to consider

Before you make any decisions about pre-arranging your memorial, you should consider:

  •  The type of memorial you would like

  •  How much money you want to spend

  •  Any specific information you would like inscribed on the memorial

  •  Any special wishes from your family or friends

  •  If any other family members will require a memorial at a later date.

Advantages

Planning ahead has many advantages and:

  • Ensures your special wishes are recorded

  • Eliminates any confusion about what you may have wanted

  • Provides a permanent memorial for future generations

  • Allows you to choose the type of memorial, inscription and decorative features you want to be remembered by

  • Relieves family and friends of the financial responsibilities.

Pre-Planning

Options

  • It makes a lot of sense to choose your own final resting place and with so many options available; Redlands Crematorium and Memorial Gardens is the perfect choice.

    Having your choice locked away in advance ensures there will be no decisions for family members to make and no confusion about what you’d really like. It is simple to record your wishes and one of our experienced staff will happily guide you through the process.

    • Pre-paying allows you to choose your final resting place

    • It gives you the opportunity to record any special wishes

    • It takes away any confusion and consolidates your wishes regarding your choice of being cremated

    • It removes the emotional and financial stress from your family

    • And it provides a permanent memorial for future generations

  • Planning ahead is a good way to remove the stress from your family and ensures that your wishes are known and upheld. We understand that cremation is not everyone’s choice and some family members may object to your cremation for personal or religious beliefs but by pre-planning it yourself you can ensure your family and friends are aware that your wishes are to be cremated and not buried.

    While written instructions can be recorded in your will, however, the will may not be read for up to 30days after the funeral service. If your wish is to be cremated, commit to it in advance and the confusion and decisions are removed from the funeral arrangements.

    You can then all have peace of mind that your affairs are in order.

  • At Redlands Crematorium and Memorial Gardens, if you choose to have a cremation at our facility, we can provide a fixed price Cremation Deed at today’s cost.

    While a Cremation Deed does not cover all of the associated funeral costs it does guarantee that the cremation will be covered in full and the venue is of your choosing.

    A Redlands Crematorium and Memorial Gardens Cremation Deed does not limit your choice of funeral directors and you may choose or change funeral directors at any time.

    It is just another practical way of planning ahead and removing the burden from your family.
