Benefits of Pre-Planning

Benefits of Pre-Planning

Although it may be a difficult subject at first, preplanning a funeral provides emotional and even financial relief for you and your family. When you pre-plan a funeral, the family is assured that the services reflect what you or your loved one wanted. In addition, you can alleviate the stress of having to make important decisions at a difficult time.

We’ve assisted many families with their funeral prearrangements and each had their own reason for beginning the process ahead of time. Here are some advantages to funeral pre-planning.
  • Preplanning allows you to tell your family how much you care about them.
  • Funeral pre-planning means you make your own decisions.
  • Communicate in writing so your family understands the details of your desires.
  • Ensure your children and loved ones are aware of your final wishes and that no one feels guilty or confused.
  • By making pre-payments, you can lessen the financial burden for your family and loved ones.
If you are interested in pre-paying for funeral services, there are several options to suit your needs. Prepaying is not required, but many families find it helpful.

Pre-Need Funeral Plans

When making prearrangements, you may wish to set up a preneed funeral plan. This type of contract holds funds in an insurance policy. Funeral services are arranged and funded ahead of time and the family is relieved of making important decisions or providing funding. We have a licensed insurance agent on our staff that can help you choose the policy that is right for you. 

Existing life insurance plans can often be used for funeral arrangements as well. In these cases, an assignment form can direct funds to the funeral provider. We will work with your insurance company and assist with the necessary paperwork at no charge.
