Pre-planned Funerals

There are so many things to take care of when planning a funeral. During a highly emotional time, not having made arrangements in advance adds even more pressure, and may not allow family members the chance they need for getting some form of closure after losing their loved one too soon.

Planning ahead helps to ensure your family has a clear plan to follow, providing vital time to cherish loved ones and go through the grieving process together. There are many benefits in pre-planning your funeral including:

Ease the Burden on Your Family

No one likes to think about their own death, but making arrangements in advance can take a huge burden off of your loved ones. A pre-planned funeral allows you to make all of the decisions ahead of time so that your family can focus on grieving and celebrating your life, instead of worrying about the logistics.

Don’t Leave Behind Financial Obligations

When a loved one passes away, it can be an emotional and difficult time for family and friends. The last thing you want to worry about at this time is money. However, if your loved one has not pre-planned their funeral, this is exactly what you may be facing. Funeral costs can quickly add up, and without a plan in place, you may be left with significant financial obligations.

Pre-planning your funeral is a thoughtful way to ease the burden on your loved ones after you’re gone. It allows you to set aside money to cover funeral expenses and ensure everything is paid for and taken care of.

Plan the Funeral You Want

Pre-planned funerals are becoming increasingly popular, as they allow you to make all the arrangements in advance and ensure that your final wishes are carried out. You can choose everything from the type of service, to the music and readings, and even pre-select the clothing you would like to be buried in.

It also allows you to make sure that your funeral is a reflection of your life and personality, ensuring that it is a meaningful tribute to your memory.

Reduce Costs

For many families, the cost of a funeral is a burden. Pre-planning your funeral can help to reduce the cost. By prepaying for your funeral, you can lock in the current price of goods and services, and avoid any potential rises in costs due to inflation and other factors. This can save your family thousands of dollars.
