LARDNER MONUMENTS

You want to ease the burden on your family. The amount of stress your family feels when you die is greatly diminished when they know you have planned ahead by already having a monument. 

You want to assume the financial responsibility for your final expenses. Most families who plan ahead mention that they don't want their loved ones to incur additional costs after they pass away.

You want your family to have the benefit of a meaningful monument. A monument is important  for a grieving family. Psychologically, it provides a sense of closure and enables the family to begin the healing process. 

You want your final wishes to be followed. If you have specific preferences for the design of your memorial, you have the opportunity to make those decisions ahead of time. 

You want to be self-reliant and have your affairs in order at the end of your life. Taking care to have a memorial already set at the cemetery is a thoughtful and caring thing to do for your family. It is comforting to know that you have done all you can do to ease their burden. And you can be assured that they will appreciate that your caring for them continued after you are gone.
