Transfer From Another Funeral Home

Already Have Funeral Plans Elsewhere?

We understand how important it is to feel confident in your funeral plans and who’s carrying them out. If you’ve already made arrangements with another funeral home but feel Penwell might be a better fit for you or your family, we want you to know: it’s simple and easy to transfer your plans to us.

You don’t need to start over, and you don’t need to worry about losing what you’ve already paid for. In most cases, your prearranged plans are completely transferable, and we’ll take care of the paperwork for you.

Why Transfer?

There are many reasons families choose to move their funeral plans to Penwell:

  • A change in location or family circumstances
  • A stronger connection to our staff or services
  • The comfort of working with a locally owned funeral home
  • Looking for a more personal, compassionate approach to care

Jake Penwell was born and raised here, and the families we serve aren’t just names on paper. They’re neighbors, friends, and people we care deeply about. If that’s the kind of support you want for yourself or a loved one, transferring your plans might be the right choice.

Contact Penwell Funeral Home today and allow us to handle this transition.
