Preplanning your own, or a loved one's, funeral prior to death allows you to express your own wishes. Preplanning relieves your family of making stressful decisions at a difficult time. Preplanning does not require prepayment, however, a prepayment option is available.

The Burns Funeral Home is here to assist you with your funeral preplanning. You can contact us to arrange a time to meet, or you can start the process by completing and submitting this form via our secure server. If you wish for the Burns Funeral Home to contact you to arrange a meeting to discuss all of your options, please choose the appropriate option at the bottom of the form. If you wish, we can also file the information until you are ready to meet in person.

Please Note: This form should not be used to report a death of a loved one. In those cases, please immediately call the funeral home to make the proper arrangements at 978-663-3968 (Billerica) or 617-876-8336 (Cambridge).
