Pre-planning

Pre-planning a funeral is not a happy task, but it is a wise and sensible action to take. It really is a great way to take the burden of making funeral arrangements off of your family. After a death occurs the family members have to get information and make decisions on many different things. Having a plan set up already can make this difficult and grievous time much more manageable.

When you pre-plan a funeral you can make sure the final wishes of the deceased are known and questions can be answered such as:

• What type of cremation or burial and service would be preferred?
• What are the differences in cost of different types of burials and services?
• Who should attend?
• Do you want a military protocols incorporated into your service?
• Do you want the service to be held in a place of worship or in a funeral home chapel?
• What type of casket or container would you prefer?
• Will the casket be opened or closed?
• Will there be visitation for family and friends or will there be a private family gathering?
• How much are you wanting to pay?
• What type of permanent memorial would you prefer?

Not only can your family be freed of the burden of making these decisions in a time of grief, but you can be protected from rising costs.

There are several methods for pre-paying for your funeral. Pre-need trust agreements, annuities, savings accounts, life insurance, bank or funeral trusts. According to The Washington Post, about one-third of funerals in the U.S. involved some form of prepaid funeral insurance.
