PLANNING AHEAD

Let's gather the information we'll need.

This is preliminary information to help us get started. Complete as much or as little as you'd like. If you don't know an answer, leave it blank and you can add it later. We'll review and verify everything with you before it is used for final arrangements or records.

Has a death occurred? Please call Renaissance at 919-866-1866 first. This worksheet can help gather information, but it does not replace the initial phone call.

A few more details.

Some of these questions may feel oddly specific. They're information commonly needed for records later.

Who should we work with?

This can be the person filling this out, or someone else who should be our primary contact or informant.

This is just a starting point. If something is missing or uncertain, that's okay. You can add information later, and Renaissance will review and verify the details with you.
A note about privacy: This worksheet does not ask for a Social Security number. Please provide highly sensitive information directly to your funeral director rather than entering it here.

Nothing has to be perfect. You can go back and change anything, or leave unanswered items for later.

What would you like to do with your planning information?

You can send the information directly to Renaissance, print a clean copy, save it as a PDF, or prepare an email copy for yourself.
