Shively Funeral Home Offers Free Advance

Planning Services to the Community

Over the years, Shively Funeral Homes have seen a rise in the number of families wishing to plan ahead for funer-al arrangements. That is why they have recently added a full-time prearrange-ment specialist to their staff, someone who will help community members plan ahead for funeral services at no charge. “Whitney Heldman is a knowledge-able, caring professional who will be joining our team as a prearrangement specialist,” said Bart & Roxanne Shive-ly, owners of Shively Funeral Homes. “Too often, we see the pain families go through after a loss when there is no

plan in place. They are overcome with grief and do not know what their loved one would have wanted. This is our way of helping families, so they don’t have to go through that kind of pain alone.” “I’m very passionate about preplanning,” said Whitney Heldman. “I feel this is something every adult needs to do, especially if there are children involved. No one wants to think of leaving their kids behind without at least making some decisions about funeral plans and expenses.” Whitney added that visiting with her about funeral plans was a free ser-vice. “We believe wholeheartedly that this will benefit your family, and that’s why there’s no charge to come and visit with me,” continued Whit-ney. “It’s a simple process. We discuss what you want, what you don’t want, and go over all the options you may not have thought of. Then we write it all down. No matter your age, health, or wealth, this is something that your family will be glad you did…it’s one way to be there for them when they need you most.”

Payment plans in advance of need are also available to help alleviate finan-cial burdens from loved ones. To contact Whitney Heldman and schedule a complimentary appointment, call Atkins-Shively Funeral Home at (937) 663-4193 or Suber-Shively Funeral Home (937) 368-2212.
