The Story of the 'Round Tu-it...

When I was a kid growing up in Minnesota, I remember having a couple of wooden nickels from a local mercantile. The tokens could be traded for an ice cream cone or a small soda.

I distinctly remember one of these tokens being imprinted in red with the words “Tu-it”. When I inquired of the store clerk what a “tu-it” might be, she responded: “Everyone always says that someday they’ll get ‘around to it’. Well, this is a ‘round tu-it’”.

It took me while to eventually understand the intended play on words – but once I got it, I thought it was pretty clever. And I guess I haven’t forgotten it.

It has been said that no one plans to fail, they simply fail to plan. This statement may have no greater pre-imminence than in the area of pre-planning one’s final arrangements.

When the topic comes up, it seems most people say: “Someday I’ll get around to it…”.

Invariably, though, it seems as we make funeral arrangements for someone who had not pre-planned, somewhere during the process we begin to hear this statement from the family: “Gosh, I wonder what Dad would have wanted…”.

We understand that it can be difficult to contemplate – and discuss – ones’ own mortality. But we’ve also learned a great deal from the families we have served for nearly a hundred years – and we’ve learned that planning ahead is truly an incomparable gift to your family. It always helps.

The reality is, quite simply, that the decisions must be made at one time or another…and by waiting, the decisions end up being made on the worst day of your family’s lives.

We believe there’s a better way – an alternative that allows you to consider these important matters in advance, with clarity of mind that is often difficult to maintain following a death. Written records of your preferences and instructions are kept on file for safekeeping and future reference. And you enjoy peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be adhered to…and the relief that your family won’t have to struggle wondering what you may have wanted.
