Shall It Be
Your Choice-
or Anothers?
You probably already own your Family Plot and Family
Monument. If so, congratulations, if not, you should give
some serious thought.
Such forethought can save loved ones all kinds of doubts
and anguish on a day of immediate need.
Many families are today providing their Family Memorials
long before the need is presented. Consider these advan-
tages :
1. YOUR will, YOUR taste and that of your family is
sure to perpetuate your Name on a Memorial to please
all concerned.
2. No forgetfulness, nor circumstances can ever expose
your family to oblivion or an unmarked resting place.
3. Your peace of mind knowing that costs will not be a
burden to those of your family remaining.
Details are very simple. Won’t you let us discuss this mat-
ter with you in the near future? Why not TODAY?
