How do you want to be remembered? What a profound question. Your funeral service is your last hurrah, leaving a final impression of who you are and how you lived your life. Family and friends will remember your life, and they’ll remember your death. What do you want your send-off to be like? More importantly, how will your loved one know your wishes?
By scheduling a preplanning session, you:
- Learn about different funeral options.
- Make decisions that reflect your personality and values.
- Discuss the costs associated with your decisions.
- The funeral director records your preplanning decisions.
- When the time comes, the funeral home acts on this plan.
At the preplanning meeting, you give yourself and your loved ones peace of mind. You provide the information that your family will need at the time of your death. Your loved ones will have a well-conceived outline of your funeral wishes, plus important personal information. This will lessen their burden when they are already grieving.
Part of the Healing Process
So, what types of preplanning decisions will you make? You will decide three basic elements:
- Gathering: Allows family and friends to give and receive love and support
- Ceremony: Involves an organized tribute to honor the deceased, often with religious overtones
- Final Resting Place: Offers a point of closure and gives loved ones a place to return to in the future
A meaningful funeral is an important part of the healing process. At a preplanning session, The funeral director will get to know you and learn about your life. He or she will guide you through the preplanning process with compassion and understanding and prepare an estimate and explain payment options so you can make a sound financial plan.
By preplanning a funeral, you have the foresight to decide, “This is how I want to be remembered.” Contact Us to schedule a preplanning appointment today.

Nobody provides better service to its customers than a small business. Owners of small businesses know their clients by first name and treat them like family. They provide the personalized, knowledgeable service – plus extra courtesies – to create an unbeatable consumer experience. Although you may not realize it, a funeral home is a small business. Legacy Care Partners is locally owned and operated.
- Kuehl Funeral Home, 108 E. Main Street, Gillett, blends into its environment, yet it’s just as much a Main Street business as the hardware store, restaurant, and dental office down the block.
- Legacy Care Partners in Green Bay, 838 S. Fisk Street, is tucked into a residential area, yet it’s an airy and modern facility with onsite banquet facilities and ample parking.
Each funeral home plays a role in the local economy.
While it’s easy to buy from Amazon.com or a big box store, it’s the small businesses that need your support instead. The money you spend locally at a small business stays local. For example, you pay the funeral director, who pays a family service associate, who pays a babysitter, who pays her landlord … the cycle goes on and on.
Small businesses are the heart of a community.
Small businesses are the ones who help buy jerseys for the football team and uniforms for the marching band. They sponsor Little League teams, golf outings, church calendars, and community events of all types. Only a small business will let you hold a bake sale in front of its store. Overall, small businesses help pay for things that tax dollars just don’t cover. In return, small businesses rely on the support of the community that surrounds them. To prosper and grow, small businesses need people to “buy local” and “shop small.” These aren’t just trite phrases. Instead, they’re the foundation for financial prosperity and viability for small businesses.
The residents in communities like Gillett and Green Bay care for their neighbors. They are close-knit and support one another. That support needs to extend to the business community. When it’s time to choose a funeral home for yourself or a loved one, you have everything you need with Legacy Care Partners. Personalized, dignified funeral service, convenient venues, and a compassionate staff.
