Funeral Home before moving.
When death occurs, the family should contact Hadley Funeral Home before
arranging any type of final disposition services, particularly if the transfer
of the deceased to the home area is desired.

Hadley Funeral Home is familiar with the procedures for returning a loved one
to the United States.

. Education level
. Parents names, including mother's maiden name

Pre-Arrangement
People plan ahead for financial obligations or for possible disaster. Planning
for funeral/cremation services is no exception. Final disposition
pre-arrangement can include the selection of the service, casket/urn, type of
disposition and other specific details.
Funds are either deposited in a trust or insurance product specifically designed
for funeral/cremation expenses. Funds designated for final services are paid to
Hadley Funeral Home only upon completion of the services. Pre-arrangements may
also be made without setting aside funds.
