Plan Ahead to Ensure Your Wishes are Fulfilled

  1. Purchase a site to receive a deed:

    • You can purchase your site online or by check. You may arrange a visit to select a site or have our staff select one for you. We offer tours year round. Bring a family member or friend if you like!

    • Do not put your deed in a security box - these are often overlooked until after the burial.

    • Consider keeping the deed and a clear, simple note about your wishes with other important items like your birth certificate, other deeds, or living will.

  2. Find a funeral director who respects your wishes:

    • Talk with several and see how they respond.

    • Contact a local or regional funeral consumers alliance for funeral directors in your area. Start at www.funerals.org.

  3. Explain your plans to family and friends:

    • Take a picture of your deed and send it to the family member(s) or friend(s) most likely to handle your burial arrangements. Explain your burial wishes. Feel free to give them a brochure or invite them to take a tour at Greensprings to learn more.

Call Greensprings at (607) 564-7577 to arrange a visit.
