The Gift of Pre-Planning
At Purdy & Kerr with Dawson Funeral Home, we feel strongly that no one should have to come through our doors unprepared and uninformed on the day that they have lost a loved one. That is why we are having an informational seminar that will help you plan ahead. Learn the four steps needed to pre-plan your funeral and cemetery arrangements. Pre-planning is a gift that you can give to your loved ones.
