We had a great time at the Women’s Show at the fairgrounds today.

We enjoyed visiting with those who stopped by our booth to learn more about us, importance of preplanning, and Cherished Pets Funeral Home and Crematory.

Dr Ruth Ann had the opportunity to speak about preneed planning also on the main stage.

We even took time to visit and shop with other vendors and enjoy wonderful coffee.

Great day!

What Most People Don't Know About Preneed Plans 💛

Here's something funeral homes rarely talk about openly:

In Missouri, funeral homes using trusts for preneeds may keep 15% of your money — PLUS ALL of the growth — if your policy is ever moved to a different provider. Even out of state.

That's not how we do things at Walnut Lawn Funeral Home – DeGraffenreid-Wood Crematory.

Here's our approach:

✅ We assess each person's situation individually — no one-size-fits-all plans

✅ We primarily use burial insurance for preneeds because it offers families more flexibility and protection — it even protects your family if there's an accident before the policy is paid in full, and once it's paid off, no more payments.

✅ When a trust IS needed, we use Missouri Funeral Trust — not our own proprietary trust

✅ We work to include all costs upfront — even cash advances like grave opening and closing. *We can't freeze those cash advance costs, but we make sure your family sees the full picture from day one.

No surprises. No pressure. Just honest information.

Because the last thing a grieving family should ever face is a bill they didn't expect. 🤍

A Little Knowledge Can Protect the People You Love

Did you know burial insurance can work very differently depending on who you choose? 💡 Some options offer flexibility, portability, and protections that many families don’t realize even exist. ✅ And not every funeral home offers the same advantages.

Understanding those differences can make a meaningful impact on the people you care about most. We’ve shared more about this in the video attached, and we encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. If something resonates or raises a question, please give us a call. We’re here to provide clear answers and caring guidance.
