Benefits of Advance Planning

Make Your Desires Known

The death of a loved one often causes unnecessary stress and turmoil within families. One family member wants one thing, while another wants something different. By planning ahead, you help prevent these disagreements by letting your family know your wishes and how you want your funeral service and arrangements handled.

It provides peace of mind.

Planning a funeral in advance also provides peace of mind—for you, as well as your family and friends. Knowing that your wishes are understood and that your funeral will be arranged according to your specifications can provide comfort and reassurance during a difficult time. For your family, it can also reduce the stress and anxiety they may feel when making funeral arrangements.

Includes Flexible Financing Options

Planning ahead for a funeral also offers flexible financing options. You can choose to pay for your funeral upfront or set up a payment plan to spread the cost over time. By addressing the cost in advance, you can alleviate some of the financial burden that may fall on your loved ones when arranging a funeral.

As you can see, pre-planning a funeral can have a profound effect on your family. By taking the time to plan ahead, you can ensure that your funeral is arranged according to your wishes and that your family doesn't have to make difficult decisions during an emotionally challenging time.
