This innovative plan makes it possible to secure today’s prices for tomorrow’s services and to lessen the emotional trauma that the loss of a loved one creates. Everything is selected and all information is documented, thus alleviating the emotional and financial stress on family members, and at the same time making sure that the insured person’s wishes are adhered to. Due to the immense interest in pre-planning, the HRFA now offers this program to better serve our members. We have been serving the community since 1896, and we are proud of that tradition. However, times change and so must we to be able to offer a complete service to our membership. We are here to serve you and your family for life. Whether death is sudden or expected, it leaves survivors unprepared and in shock. Our program allows you to lessen that burden and assist your family in serious decisions and expenses.
