Pre-Arrangements
At Best Funeral Home, we understand that during our lives we plan for many situations such as education, having a family, vacations, weddings and especially our retirement. As part of the planning and being prepared throughout our lives, we purchase insurance to help us in various situations that may occur such as accidents, earthquakes, fire, floods and theft. However, many neglect to plan their funeral simply because the thought of knowing one day we may not be here is a realization of our own mortality. We should also consider the pre-planning of our funeral service as it not only lets our survivors know what our wishes are, but it will also help our families through their time of bereavement.
One of our directors will be more than happy to come to the comfortable surroundings of your home and discuss what funeral options may be available at no obligation. Making a pre-planned funeral arrangement is simply recording your wishes down on paper, collecting personal information, your choice of service and/or merchandise, and any other selections. We then keep your pre-planned arrangement on file until the time of death. When death occurs, one call to Best Funeral Home is all that is needed to begin the funeral process. We will carry out all the arrangements according to your wishes, and the benefits from your pre-paid plan will be sent directly to us to cover the final expense.
The main benefit of pre-planning a funeral is that it removes the burden of having your family make difficult decisions at a time when they are experiencing much grief and stress. You can select the services and merchandise according to your wishes, and spiritual beliefs; as well as for your financial means, either by pre-paying for the services or having the monies set aside via a payment option. In addition, you will have the piece of mind knowing your arrangements were taken care of, for those you love - at today's prices - not tomorrow's.
At Best Funeral Home there is no membership fee or filing charges to record your wishes for your services. There is no obligation for sitting down to discuss which option works best for you. In fact, we strongly suggest you meet with one of our directors and then compare our services and prices with others.
Best Funeral Home utilizes Homesteader’s Life Company for all funding of our funeral pre-planning.

Testimonials
We are always interested in hearing from the families that we serve.
Please take a moment to let us know how well we served you in your time of need. We very much appreciate your feedback.
I can’t recommend Gary enough to entrust your beloved pets to. He treated my dog with the same dignity and compassion, one would expect for any family member.
The cremation package you receive, is very personalized for each family, and very beautiful and touching.
Gary, thank you for your outstanding treatment and services during such a difficult time, and thank you for ensuring I was actually receiving my dog Chase back.
Hands down the best funeral home I've ever been to. Very professional, caring ,and considerate. Very nice, warm,and clean. Thank you for your amazing service.
Gary has been wonderful in handling the cremation of several of our family pets. Highly recommend. Always available, personalized service, and the returns are very thoughtful keepsakes of our lost family member.
Thanking Gary Best for his handling of the cremation of our much loved Quinn. A kind and caring man who presented us with a neck chain ornament with a small charm containing Quinn’s ashes, a beautiful inscribed wood box containing Quinn’s ashes, and a touching print of Quinn’s foot pad, (that made me cry), it was a wonderful tribute to our faithful family member. I would and will recommend Gary’s services to anyone wanting a caring and compassionate person to handle the cremation of their pet family member…Thank you Gary
Friends suggested that we take our dog to Gary for cremation and wow were they right! Gary was so compassionate and kind so we knew he would take care of our baby girl (Coco-14 1/2 year old). Not only did he go above and beyond in the services he provided for cremation last fall, but we also received an ornament with her name on it at Christmas. Can't say enough positive things about Gary helping to make an awful situation a little easier! This place is truly the Best!
Thank you for the Bella ornament .
Nice surprise.
Thank you for the Xmas ornament in Pinkies name. It was a pleasant suprise.
Gary came highly recommended by several friends who just recently lost pets. Gray was so understanding and made everything so easy, even for a blubbering idiot like myself. When I got Capone back it warmed my heart...Everything was so professional and Gary didn't miss a beat! He collected everything I could of possibly wanted to remember my sweet Kittie by...Thank you so much Gary for making this alittle easier for me! God Bless you and what you do for me and other!🙏🏻

I'm still in shock of the passing of my sweet caring lovable son John Joseph Miller who fought 17 years of a TBI from a car accident 04/15/2006. Gary and everyone were so kind and compassionate during our time of grief. They surely will be used "next time" God Bless Gary and all who helped me, my family
I cannot express enough how grateful we are in the handling of my dear husband during this very difficult time. Gary went over and above to accommodate all of my requests, questions, changes etc. and truly empathized with me for our great loss. I am recommending them to family and friends, when they have to make these difficult choices.
