A Final Act of love and considration

Pedro Andrade is Farewell Advisor with a clear vision: to bring transparency, trust, and simplicity to the pre-need funeral planning process. With nearly three decades of experience in the funeral profession, I know firsthand how impactful it is when families have the opportunity to plan ahead.

I began my career in 1996 as an apprentice and graduated from mortuary school in 1998. After working closely with grieving families as a funeral director, I quickly recognized the emotional and financial relief that came with having funeral plans in place before a time of need.

For 14 years, I helped families pre-arrange their services while working for the largest funeral home corporation in the country. I also spent 10 years with an independent, deepening my understanding of how personal service, transparency, and community connection can make all the difference.

Those years of experience—and the contrast between different models—inspired me to start Farewell Advisor, a plan built to empower families. Today, I help people understand their funeral home options, compare options, services, price, and choose what’s right for them.

Pedro’s mission is simple: to help families take control of their final arrangements before it becomes someone else’s responsibility. 

Simple Return can be purchased easily with one of our Pre-Need plans, making it convenient for individuals who prearrange to include this coverage as part of their comprehensive advance funeral & cremation plans. In the event of a qualifying death away from home, this protection helps ensure the deceased is transported to your funeral home. Through coverage provided by Simple Return, families can focus on what matters most without the added burden of coordinating arrangements. 

Our Planning Guide takes you through the planning process and lets you record final wishes, personal affairs, family heritage, military history and more into a single, centralized document.
