Advance Planning - Cremation Basics

It has always been wise to research and plan, before the need arises especially in situations involving high emotions. Cremation Basics maintains an advance planning file for those that wish to arrange their cremation in advance. Although it is not required, many choose to fund their arrangements by setting up a mortuary trust. This guarantees payment in full and removes the financial burden from surviving relatives. This can be easily initiated by visiting the advance planning area of our website or by giving us a call. We have tried to simplify our arrangements process by enabling consumers to make their plans, at-need or in advance, through our website. The following form will help guide you in making decisions and will organize information needed to complete required documentation, obituaries and services. When this form is complete you may e-mail it to us, fax it to us at (207) 989-3337 or (207) 862-3661 or print and mail it to:
