Whether you are advanced in age or simply like to be prepared for the future, you may be considering your own funeral plans. Pre-planning your funeral allows you to select the ceremony you want and spares your loved ones the difficult task of organizing a funeral service while they grieve. Quincy Memorials has helped families in Quincy, MA, plan funeral and memorial services for over 60 years. One of the most difficult aspects of funeral planning they have seen many families undergo is managing costs.

Here, they offer some tips for managing the financial aspect of making funeral plans:

• Decide On A Payment Plan: Nearly all funeral homes that offer pre-planning services also offer pre-payment. Discuss the type of ceremony you would like to have and the cost of these arrangements with loved ones. Together, come to a decision on whether you will pay for part or all of the services yourself or if the cost will shift to the family.
• Shop Around: If time and your health allow for it, look around at different funeral homes. Discuss payment methods, ceremony options, and whether they include features such as custom memorials and grave markers. Select a funeral home that fits your budget and provides you with tasteful ceremony options.
• Make Sure Your Costs Are Locked In: Many funeral homes guarantee your funeral costs will be locked in. In other words, the price you pay today will pay for the same services in the future. However, not all facilities offer this guarantee, so be certain of this before you finalize your funeral plans.
