Four Benefits of Pre-Planning
Planning a funeral in advance can be daunting, but there are a number of compelling reasons why making your final arrangements in advance is worth the effort.
Your family will know your wishes.
When your wishes are clearly known, your loved ones won’t have to guess at what you may have wanted. This will help avoid disputes or disagreements that can arise if your family members have contradicting memories about how you wanted to be remembered.
Urgent decisions are made now.
Things like getting a legal pronouncement of death and notifying friends and family can leave little time for funeral planning. When you make plans ahead of time, you will ease your loved ones’ burdens during a time of emotional upheaval, so they can focus on remembrance and healing.
You’ll have greater peace of mind.
When you pre-plan, all of your plans are guaranteed and will be carried out just as you have directed. You and your family can be confident knowing that when the plans are needed, everything will be taken care of. You can experience greater peace of mind knowing that those you care about will be able to remember you as you want them to.
Funeral costs are handled ahead of time.
Inflation drives the cost of funerals up yearly, as it does with other goods and services. Additionally, funerals must be paid for upfront, which seldom allows time for family members to access life insurance funds or savings accounts. Pre-purchasing solves both of these issues, protecting your services from inflation and answering the question of who will pay for your services.
Why Should I Plan Ahead For My Funeral?
Pre-planning is all about easing the burden on your loved ones while also making sure that your own wishes are made known. Planning ahead is:
- Easy. There’s no health questionnaire or physical exam required. Absolutely everyone can make a funeral pre-plan, and we’ll keep it on file in our office.
- Thoughtful. Pre-planning relieves your family members from making very personal decisions on your behalf at a time of need. Plus, it allows you to clearly communicate your wishes.
- Financially smart. You can set up a pre-payment play for your expenses, protecting your family from inflation and avoiding conflict about who should pay for the arrangements.
Simply put: no. When you pre-plan your funeral, you have two options:
- Simply record your wishes, and leave the expenses for your family to pay for at the time of your passing.
- Pre-fund your funeral plan to cover your own expenses when needed, following a variety of payment options. Benefits to pre-funding include:
- Protecting your family from inflation. Once your plan is paid in full, the price is guaranteed, and no one will have to pay any more than has already been paid for the plan you have funded.
- Relieving your family of a financial burden. Your loved ones will have one less thing to worry about during a difficult time.
- Secure management of your funds. Any money you pay will be put in a state-approved trust account or top-rated insurance company until needed.
