The Griffiths Funeral Homes have been providing funeral and cremation services for the Tamaqua,Weatherly and Panther Valley areas for over six generations. We have designed this site to be a simple, yet powerful tool for your use. It is our intention that your visit be uncomplicated and helpful.

Certainly, if your preference is to speak to our staff directly,we are available 24/7 and welcome calls or personal visits anytime.

Planning for the future is important at any age, but in this day and age, it is also prudent. One essential aspect of estate planning is a will. Everyone needs a will. Some other pertinent documents are living wills, powers of attorney, a medical directive and doctor authorizations. These documents are for your protection and a way to alleviate the burden from loved ones should you become incapacitated.

Most of these documents can be completed with little to no frills and not much fuss. In the long run, these documents will save you money and allow you the opportunity to designate someone you trust to see to your wishes and protect your valuable assets.

The following is a simple estate plan checklist:
*MAKE A WILL
*decide what property to include and who will inherit your property
*choose an executor/executrix
*choose a guardian for your children and someone to manage your children's assets
*store your will in a safe place
*MAKE A HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE
*MAKE A FINANCIAL POWERS OF ATTORNEY
*PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN'S PROPERTY
*FILE BENEFICIARY FORMS
*CONSIDER LIFE INSURANCE
*UNDERSTAND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES
*COVER FUNERAL EXPENSES
*Investigate pre-planning options
*STORE YOUR DOCUMENTS IN A SAFE PLACE
*Consider a fire proof safe
*Notify your executor where your documents are stored

There is no time like the present to start planning for your future. Call today to set up an appointment so we may assist you as you prepare to meet with a professional to attend to your estate plan checklist. Our consultations are guaranteed to save you money and give you peace of mind at no cost to you.

Respectfully,

E. Franklin "Sank" Griffiths III
Owner/Funeral Director
