Because we are locally owned, we care about our community. Our goal at Vaughan's is to help our families in any way that we can, and that is why we want to share this information about funeral planning.
The practices of prearranging and pre-funding are becoming increasingly popular. As a step in organizing your affairs, it can be just as critical as drafting a will. It's especially important should you experience an extended nursing home stay and/or apply for financial assistance. Preplanning can be as simple or as extensive as you care to make it. The very basic plan includes simply listing biographical information and preferences as to the type of service and merchandise. This record is kept in our confidential files until the time of need. There is absolutely no charge for this service.

Many choose to take the next step and provide the funding. With a Vaughan Plan, you can set aside funds for your funeral, so survivors aren't faced with financial decisions. Convenient monthly payments or one lump sum payment can be arranged.

People who have pre-planned say it's a great source of comfort. With Vaughan Funeral Planning you can:
Eliminate second-guessing about what you or your loved one would have wanted. Planning your funeral in advance ensures your wishes are fulfilled and spares loved ones financial and emotional worries later.
Reduce family stress at an already emotional time. Almost all decisions have been made.
Save hundreds of dollars by planning and paying for tomorrow's funeral at today's prices. Although funerals are less expensive than most people realize, the prices do continue to rise every year. With our advance-planning program, we offer the option of funding your funeral at today's cost-no matter when the funeral takes place.
Guarantee your family will never have to pay more-no matter what happens with inflation.
All Vaughan Plans are protected by the Preneed Burial Guarantee Fund administered by the West Virginia Office of the Attorney General.

While our concerns are focused on service to our families, we understand that costs are important. That is why we make this pledge to you: "We will never let costs interfere with our service to our families." We know that our prices are among the lowest of any funeral home in the area. However, if you should find a lower price, we guarantee to match it.

Perhaps, you have had the foresight to have already prearranged your services, but are having second thoughts about the funeral home that you selected, since most in the area have sold out to the big funeral chains. We would be glad to assist you in transferring your arrangements to Vaughan's. (It's actually an extremely simple procedure, requiring your signature on one form.) All of your arrangements would be honored just like the original arrangements and you would pay no additional costs. Why settle for less, when you can have a professional service by Vaughan's.
We invite you to call or stop in for a free planning guide and cost estimate, or if it is more convenient for you, we will be glad to come to your home, where all the decisions can be made. Simply email us at
