If it makes you uneasy to think about your own funeral, you aren't alone. However, if you think about how much worse it feels to plan a funeral for a loved one, you gain some understanding of why pre-planning a funeral is an important decision for many people nearing the end of life's journey. There's no shame in planning for the inevitable, and in doing so, you will also be helping out your loved ones as they cope with their grief.

Middendorf Funeral Home has been northern Kentucky's trusted funeral home for over 150 years, and here they elaborate on a few reasons why pre-planning a funeral is worth considering:

• You Can Plan While Times Are Good: It's hard to think straight and make sound decisions when you're suffering from grief. If you pre-plan your funeral, you'll save your loved ones from the trouble of coordinating events while emotions are running high.

• Your Loved Ones Will Know It's What You Wanted: For your survivors, it's very important that your funeral wishes are taken into account. Take the time to turn your intentions into a real plan, even if all you want is a simple or informal ceremony.

• It's Simple to Do: Pre-planning a funeral is as easy as giving Middendorf Funeral Home a call and setting up an appointment. You are also welcome to submit your details on the online form, and someone will call you back. A caring professional will help you through the process the whole time.
