Benefits of Pre-Planning

1

Planning a funeral at the time of need for a loved one requires organization in the midst of grief and sadness. It would have been ideal if the deceased’s wishes and necessary information had already been documented for those in the position of carrying out the desired funeral services. Pre-planning allows those who are grieving, time to do so without a hurried or chaotic search for information needed to secure a smooth funeral service. Consult this guideline below to see the most important elements for planning a funeral:

  • Prearranging provides you or your loved one with the opportunity to become informed about the plethora of options regarding the funeral or cremation service. No two services are alike, and individuals can choose to showcase videos, photographs, music, special readings or any other involved elements with family and friends.
  • Prearranging ensures that you document your wishes. A living will may cover medical treatment, but there are still funeral costs. You can remove some of the burdens for someone making decisions who may not be aware of your wishes.
  • Paying ahead of time eases future financial burden. It may benefit your surviving loved ones to prepay for your funeral or cremation services, as the costs of the products and services you choose may never be lower. Prearranging makes financial sense. We have many choices for payment plans.
  • Begin the process by writing down your personal information or your loved one’s information.
  • Write down important information to keep on hand as you plan the service, like social security number, ethnicity, religion, residence, birth information and so on. Having this information is helpful throughout the funeral planning process.
  • Selecting individuals to be a part of the funeral service in advance takes away some of the emotional burdens. You are able to select readers, performers, and other individuals to be a part of the service in advance.
