Why you Should Pre-Plan
Pre-planning your final arrangements is simply a matter of taking the time to think about, and to write down, your desires. It’s a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. You’ll be more relaxed, knowing your plans are made and in the hands of reliable friends or family.
By spending a few minutes with a professional funeral director who has experience with pre-need planning, you can help your family and other loved ones avoid some unpleasant and possibly costly errors.
Preplanning:
• Gives you the peace of mind that your family will not have to endure unnecessary stress and financial burdens.
• Provides complete control over your final wishes and expenses. There should be no questions about the type of funeral you want and how you want it conducted.
• Prevents emotional overspending and allow you and your family the opportunity to make the decisions together, rather than doing it alone at a most difficult time.
• Protects against the increasing costs caused by inflation and other factors. You can cover what is expected to be a much more expensive funeral 10 to 20 years from now... at today's prices.
• Allows you to save money tax free. The interest earned on savings and certificates of deposit, however, is currently taxable.
When a death occurs, which statement would you rather make? "I wish we had taken care of this years ago," or "I'm glad we took care of this together years ago." We encourage you not to put this off. By waiting, you will pay more for this type of security. You owe it to your family and loved ones to receive any information to assist you in this process.
