Misty Plowman Engel Galbreaith-Pickard Funeral Chapel Advanced Planning and Insurance Specialist and the Continuous Care Advisor Q: What do you do?  A: As far as advanced planning, I sit down with people and help them to pre-plan their funeral and pay for it.  You pay today’s prices, so we help them get their wishes down.  As far as insurance goes, I file the insurance claims for families and expedite their claims.  As the continuous care advisor, I’m the person they contact after the services are complete.
