Welcome to PAFS Why Use PAFS?

Dealing with a terminal illness; the death of someone close or even pre-planning your own final arrangements is not always easy. Such questions as "where do I go?" or "what do I do now?” must be answered. Today, with the high cost of death care services in this area, inadequate information can result in a severe financial burden for a family. Since 1992, Personal Alternative® has significantly changed the face of the funeral business locally and has made making final arrangements easy… both emotionally and financially.

What was needed is a more common-sense approach to funeral arrangements - one that demystifies the business, spells out options in a factual way, reduces the costs, and alleviates purchasing pressure by giving the family a real sense of control over decision making. And, that’s what Personal Alternative® does.

So, when you’re faced with the death of someone close to you, making the final arrangements should not add to your distress. And, that’s why you need to think twice before assuming the traditional way is the only way. You do have “alternatives” and you should certainly make informed decisions.

We trust the information in this web site will indeed help you to make informed decisions… ones that are right for you.


There are several advantages to using Personal Alternative® rather than a “traditional” funeral provider. Here are just a few of the reasons why using Personal Alternative® just makes sense:

  1. We come to your home to make the final arrangements – so, not only is that more convenient for you and your family – you avoid the commercial pressure in the “traditional” funeral homes, (particularly those corporately owned) to spend beyond your needs or means.

  2. We're affordable. Our prices are substantially less than “traditional” funeral homes (particularly those corporately owned).

  3. We practice what we preach ...No Pressure and No Surprises.
