5 Reasons Why You Should Pre-Plan Your Funeral
Why Pre-Planning Funerals is Important
Funeral planning isn’t something we really want to think about, but it’s extremely important, nonetheless. Not only planning the funerals of loved ones we lose along the way, but also preplanning your own funeral. Whether it’s something you’ve thought about before or not, here are some key reasons why you should consider preplanning services for your funeral.
Get the send-off you want
Maybe you’ve already imagined what you’d like your funeral to be like. Preplanning ensures that you get all of this when the time comes. You can decide whether you have a burial or a cremation funeral, whether you want an open coffin or not, what music and readings you’d like, along with lots of other details.
Take the burden off your loved ones
Planning something like a funeral can be stressful at the best of times, never mind while you’re grieving. Planning your funeral in advance takes some of the pressure off your loved ones so that they have fewer decisions to make and things to organize.
And the financial burden
As well as the stress of organizing the day, funerals can also be expensive affairs, depending on the details. Preplanning and pre-paying your funeral takes the financial burden off your family so they don’t have to pay a lot of money all at once. Even if money from your will covers the funeral costs, it often takes a while for this to be settled and for your family to actually receive the money.
Make it more affordable
Since funeral costs can be a lot to pay all at once, preplanning is advantageous since it allows you to pay in installments. This makes it more affordable and manageable over time, so you can choose the details that you want for your funeral without having to hold back due to budget.
Make sure your affairs are in order
Arranging your will and putting the rest of your affairs in order is something that people often put off. If you decide to preplan your funeral, then it ensures that you remember to settle everything else, like your will and life insurance that could support your family.
