  I would like to thank each and every one of you who made my father’s funeral a fine tribute to his life. My father is Edmund Lusby. Tom took good care of us at the house. I was impressed with Tom’s gentleness in taking my moms hand and helping her to hold my fathers hand one last time. Gary, you directed the funeral so well, you directed us every step of the way. Kirk, you followed through with all our requests. I really appreciate the staffs help with the choice of casket, minister and organist. Emily, thank you for helping me find my husbands walker after the funeral. Bobbye, your attentiveness with all the members of the family made me feel so good. Everyone’s quick attention from arrival to departure made us so relaxed. Thanks so much for not only making it easy for us, but to help my mom with the transition afterwards. Your phone calls to check on her wellbeing mean so much. I’ve heard lots of good comments from siblings, family and friends. What a fine farewell to a fine father. Sincerely, Sandra Hopkins.

  On behalf of the family of my late husband, James W. Kerr, I wish to extend my sincerest thanks to Fellows, Helfenbein & Newnam (FHN) for the responsive and supportive manner in which my husband’s funeral arrangements were conducted, and the subsequent support for me personally.
  
  What could have been a very sad and painful time was made significantly less so by the fact that we had worked with FHN’s Easton office on advance planning for our funerals some years previously. This was certainly one of the best planning and financial measures we have taken. Not only did this preplanning ensure that the arrangements reflected the desires of the individual(s) covered, but it provided for most of the expenses as well.
  
  I was pleased that the escrowed funds initially established to cover the funeral arrangements were sufficient to cover most of the expenses; however, inflation in this field, as well as in the economy in general, sent me back to FHN to review my own plans and to ensure that the funds in my account would be sufficient to cover my own funeral arrangements when needed. Planners from FHN worked with me to review my arrangements and to ensure their funding through a whole life insurance policy designed for this purpose. My existing escrowed funds covered a significant portion of the costs of the life insurance policy. An additional bonus is that the accounts are now transferable should one choose to leave Maryland.
  
  The general public would be well served by a heightened awareness of the need for preplanning funerals and for the various instruments available for financing them. Inflation is a reality in our economy, and planning for funerals should become an integral part of an individual’s or a family’s overall financial planning. I would also argue that the planning process should extend to planning for cemetery lot acquisition and management as well, as inflation also affects these costs. While I am aware that FHN does not handle cemetery plot acquisition and management, I would urge that FHN recommend to clients that they explore these arrangements as an integral, although separate, additional part of advance planning.
  Thank you for the support and for the services provided to me personally and to the community.
  Janice K.
