Why Should I Plan My Own Funeral?

Issue 30.17

Someone wisely observed that the worst time to plan a funeral is right after someone has died. Dealing with emotions during these dark hours is something best to be avoided. The funeral costs will be higher than if a pre-planned funeral had been put in place years earlier. Also, families may forget or neglect important details.
Pre planning a funeral or a cremation is something that is too easily put off. Once done, you can relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family.
IT’S ALL ABOUT TAKING CONTROL
Making the commitment to planning ahead:
– Is easy. There’s no health questionnaire or physical exam required. Absolutely everyone can make a pre-plan, and there is no waiting for return documents. The plan is completed, and put on file in our office.- Lets your family clearly know your wishes.
– Relieves your family members of making very personal decisions on your behalf at the time of need.
– Can protect your family from the ravages of inflation. Your expenses can be covered when you need them to be, through a pre-payment plan.
DOES PRE-PLANNING REQUIRE PRE-PAYMENT?
The simple answer is just two letters: No. You can set plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing.
When you choose to pre-fund your final arrangements, your money is put in a state-approved trust account or top-rated insurance company until required. After your pre-plan is started, the price is guaranteed. You will never have to pay more for the items you have already paid for.
