Pre-Planning Options
Taking the time to plan your funeral in advance can ease the burden on your loved ones when the time comes. By pre-arranging your services, you ensure everything is in place, leaving one less thing for your family to manage during a difficult time. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
While people often spend months organizing weddings or vacations, many overlook the one event that is certain to happen: their own funeral. Though it may be uncomfortable to think about your mortality, the best time to plan ahead is now. The primary benefit of pre-arranging your funeral is that it removes uncertainty for your loved ones and ensures your wishes are followed, sparing them from having to second-guess what you would have wanted. Pre-planning and pre-paying for your funeral is one of the most considerate gifts you can give your family.
Pre-Payment Options
Pre-paying for your funeral provides financial relief for your loved ones after your passing. We offer flexible payment plans that can be tailored to your needs, including one-time payments or monthly withdrawals. By pre-paying, you ease the financial burden on your family and protect against inflation, as the value of your plan will grow without being taxed. Depending on your region, if your funeral costs less than the amount you’ve set aside, any remaining funds will be refunded to your beneficiaries. To learn about specific regulations in your area, simply consult with your funeral director. Every year, thousands of individuals choose to pre-plan and pre-pay for their funeral, knowing that these plans are flexible and can adapt to life’s changes.
What You Can Do in Advance
- Choose between burial or cremation, and select your preferred casket or urn.
- Decide on the type of service you want, whether religious, military, or non-traditional.
- Select the funeral home you’d like to handle your arrangements.
- Designate your pallbearers and choose any music or readings for the service.
Benefits of Pre-Planning
After a loved one passes, there can be as many as 70 to 75 decisions to make within the first 24-48 hours. It’s hard to think clearly under such emotional strain. Pre-planning gives both you and your family peace of mind, knowing that the decisions have already been made.
It’s simple to do, and you can make changes whenever needed. Pre-planning is a thoughtful and considerate way to ensure that your final wishes are carried out without added stress for your loved ones.
