Mark Casey is a Pre-need Specialist at Starkes & Menchinger Funeral Homes. By experiencing the sudden loss of his father and brother, Mark understands the importance of pre-planning funerals. And with the current cost of funerals at 15-18k, prepaying is a good idea, too! He gave us many scenarios that illustrated the importance of pre-planning.
With a pre-planning policy from Starkes, Mark says when the time comes, you can “just call Starkes!” You can also do that if you want to start planning. Your loved ones will be glad you did!
