Pre-Planning Funeral Arrangements
Most of us prepare for what is possible, but seldom for the inevitable. Today, more and more people are arranging their funerals in advance of death. Pre-arranged and/or pre-funded funeral, cremation and cemetery arrangements considerably ease a family’s burden when death occurs. It can also play an integral part in financial planning.
There are many reasons to pre-arrange a funeral:
- To make sure an individual’s wishes are represented after their death.
- To protect family members and loved ones from having to make difficult decisions during an emotional time.
- To simplify the financial responsibilities associated with paying funeral expenses and protect against increased costs (pre-funded funerals).
What’s involved with pre-arranging a funeral?
Pre-planning funeral arrangements is a responsible, caring act that can lessen stress for your grieving loved ones. Our pre-planning experts will meet with you at our funeral home, or at your own home if that’s more convenient.
When pre-arranging a funeral, individuals consider many facets:
- Traditional burial or cremation services
- What type of visitation (viewing, wake or reception)
- Where will services be held (funeral home, place of worship, cemetery)
- Religious/spiritual ceremony vs. secular gathering
- Specific music to be used
- Specific scripture/spiritual readings to be used
- Flowers preference; donation requests in lieu of flowers; memorial contributions
- Any unique and specific desires of the individual or family to personalize a service
