The first few weeks of a new year can be stressful, especially if you’re already seeing your New Year’s resolutions fall by the wayside. If you have made resolutions this year, hopefully you’re still going strong! If not, maybe you should think of reframing your goal. Instead of simply resolving to do less of something—eat less sugar, cut back on cigarettes, spend less money—consider resolving to do more. What can you add to your life that will create a healthier, happier, more balanced you? At Nalley-Pickle & Welch, we have found many West Texas families add peace of mind to their lives and those of their loved ones by preplanning.

Creating an end-of-life plan will take away the guesswork and make it easier for your family when the time comes. Do those closest to you know how you’d like to be remembered or where you’d like to be laid to rest? Cement your legacy today by planning for your future!

It can be difficult to talk to people about how to say goodbye, and that’s why the team at Nalley-Pickle & Welch is here to walk you through all your options. Many choose a funeral service with a traditional burial to celebrate a life well lived, while others prefer a simple cremation, followed by a brief memorial and reception for friends and family. Trust our staff—with a legacy of three generations of family ownership behind them—to handle all your arrangements with care, compassion, and professionalism. Whatever your preference, personalization is key to providing a healing experience for your loved ones. Let our experts create a lasting tribute that tells your personal story. Finally, if you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, consider our packaged services. We can handle everything from start to finish and build a service perfectly suited to your needs.

It’s time to embrace the future and start planning. Getting organized and making a checklist now will prevent unplanned expenses and leave nothing to chance. Most of all, by making your final wishes known, you’ll ensure that no one is left sorting out the details when it’s time to gather and grieve together.

So make this a season of more. Whatever your official New Year’s resolution is—or even whether it’s ultimately successful—decide now to complete one goal that will add confidence and security to your everyday life – like preplanning. Then together we can look forward with excitement and anticipation for what the rest of 2018 has in store!
