We all know that any planning makes sense. However, most of us will take more time to plan and pack for a weekend get away than plan the funeral service for a loved one. The Family Care Coordinators of Allnutt Funeral Service want to make it as easy for you to plan ahead as we possibly can. Our professional Family Care Coordinators will consult with you at our funeral home, or in the comfort of your home. We also offer to mail you an information and a pre-arrangement form, enabling you to begin the planning process in the comfort of your own home. You can also use our web-site to record information and send it to us via the Internet. We will then contact you to complete details. Most people think that pre-arranging your funeral means pre-paying. That option is yours, however pre-payment will freeze the cost at today's prices for future services.
BENEFITS OF PRE-PLANNING
These are just an example of some of the questions that will be asked.
- Will you choose burial or cremation?
- Where will you be buried? What casket will you choose? Stainless steel or Pine?
- If you choose cremation, will your cremated remains be scattered? Where?
- What type of urn or cremation container will you choose?
- Will the cremated remains be kept at home with a family member?
- Will the cremated remains be buried at a cemetery or on private land?
- Is there going to be a service?
- Where will the service be? In a church, in our chapel, or a park?
- Will there be music? What are your favorite musical selections?
- Who will officiate? What readings, verses or poems will be read?
- Is there going to be a reception after the service?
There are many benefits to prearranging funeral services. When you express your wishes and make arrangements in advance, funeral services become a tremendous source of comfort and encouragement to all your family. Today, pre-arranging funeral services is almost as common in people's life plans as investing/savings plans, insurance plans and estate planning.
THE MAJOR BENEFITS OF PREARRANGING A FUNERAL SERVICE ARE:
-Being a crucial part of your final arrangements
Most of us like to make our own decisions. Why should planning your funeral be any different?
You may know what you want for your own funeral service, but how many have shared that with family members. Being a part of your funeral arrangements gives you the opportunity to put those instructions in writing with copies being kept in your home as well as at our funeral home.
-Paying today's cost for tomorrow's service
By making your pre-arrangements you can control the cost of the services and merchandise provided by Allnutt Funeral Service. As a feature of our insurance contract, the benefits are transferable should you move from the Colorado area. Services and items not provided by the funeral home, such as flowers, certified death certificates, sales tax, and cemetery charges are not guaranteed by pre-funded arrangements.
-Personalization as you wish
Today a tribute to ones life is the most meaningful way for your family and friends to say their good-byes. By making your arrangements in advance your surviving family will find comfort in knowing your arrangements are personalized by your choice.
-Time to decide on the many choices and decisions that need to be made
There are many choices to be made. Making decisions at the time of death could cause poor decisions, adding to the cost. Pre-arranging your funeral service provides you time to carefully think about the options. It also affords you an opportunity to make changes to choices you have previously made.
-Ease the burden on your family and friends
It is often overwhelming to deal with the many decisions following the death of a loved one. Families find that they are required to be responsible for the arrangements and financial obligations. Your family will be relieved to find you have already made these arrangements.
PLANNING OPTIONS
Like most products and services, funeral costs rise over time. By making plans now, and funding those plans, you can protect yourself from increased cost in the future. You can also fund your arrangements, with payments rather than a single payment that is required at the time of death.
Pre- funding programs are strictly regulated. You can be assured as the oldest funeral home in Larimer and Weld counties, we will still be here in the years to come, honoring and guaranteeing the decisions and choices you make today.
We serve you best by offering a guaranteed-issue plan. All persons under age ninety-nine qualify for coverage regardless of health problems. Full benefits are paid after only two years on three- and five-year payment plans and from day one on single premium plans. Accidental coverage is provided from the first day. Many insurance plans restrict those who can qualify by limiting the age or imposing stringent health requirements. Our underwriter does not impose these restrictions.
Feature Benefits-
- Additional away-from-home death benefit in most states
- No medical examination required
- Immediate full coverage upon delivery of the policy when the policy is paid in full
- Minimum policy size as low as $450
- Inflation protection
- Monthly investment availability to age 90

If you wish, our Family Care Coordinators can also show you other options. Please contact us and we can complete the necessary forms and answer any questions you may have.
Only you can make a decision on pre arranging your funeral. As Family Care Coordinators, we know the benefit of having your wishes recorded. Ask people who may have completed their pre need arrangements how it was for them. Anyone who has pre-arranged with Allnutt Funeral Service has found it to be a rewarding experience.
