Pre-Arrangement

Dying is one of the few events in life that is certain to occur, yet one we are not likely to plan for. Making arrangements for a funeral in advance is a great way to ensure that your family has peace of mind in your passing. There are many options to consider when making a pre-arrangement. And one should take their time when planning pre-need funeral arrangements.

When making the arrangements make sure to ask any specific questions that you may have. Make sure family traditions, personal preferences, and costs are considered in the planning process. When starting your planning, consider the type of service you would like, whether it be a traditional service and burial, cremation with memorial service, or a direct cremation. Making this decision before going to make your arrangements, can speed up the planning process and help in deciding the remaining arrangements.

Pre-need arrangements do not have to be purchased as a bulk agreement. One may desire to split the portions of a service into two or more agreements. This allows the purchaser to make the payments fit their financial situations.   

There are many benefits to end-of-life planning. Here are the top ten reasons why you should consider making your funeral arrangements ahead of time:
  • It means there will be fewer opportunities for argument and indecision about your funeral arrangements among family members after you're gone.
  • Your survivors will never have to worry about doing the wrong thing when finalizing your funeral arrangements. You will have told them exactly what you want.
  • No mistakes and no oversights. After you're gone, everything will be done your way.
  • You have peace-of-mind now knowing that we will follow through with your wishes.
  • After your death, no one can make any decisions you wouldn't want.
  • Funeral pre-planning is the responsible thing to do. It removes the burden from family members.
  • You can make complex decisions ahead of time when you have the time to think things through.
  • Funeral pre-planning can involve pre-payment. This will save your family money and avoid any financial burdens.
  • Funeral pre-planning involves an awareness of the reality of death.
  • You are almost guaranteed to get what you want.

Dying is one of the few events in life that's certain to occur, yet one we rarely plan for. Should we spend more time preparing for a two week vacation than we do our last days on Earth?
