Many people avoid discussing topics related to death; as a result, the responsibility of planning a funeral falls to their grieving family members. Porto Funeral Homes in New Haven County, Connecticut, believes making plans for your funeral in advance is a smart move.

Why is there a need to pre-arrange your interment? Porto Funerals shares the benefits of arranging your funeral ahead of time:

• Emotional Benefits: Losing a loved one is painful. You can mitigate your family’s burden in the event of your death by preparing for your funeral now. With a pre-planned arrangement, you and your family will have enough time to explore several options and make well-informed decisions without too much pressure.
• Financial Benefits: Pre-planning for your funeral lets you manage your resources properly. Once you know all the costs involved, you can save a part of your earnings to cover the funeral expenses. You’ll also be able to avoid inflation costs, because, with Porto Funeral Homes, you can lock in the current prices of their plans. With the “repay” option, your family will get to keep all the benefits from your life insurance because your estate will owe nothing on the funeral costs.
• Funeral Services: Pre-arrangements for funerals allow you to choose whether you want to be cremated or not. You can also decide between a traditional or contemporary service. You and your family can decide together which casket, urn, and transportation service to use.
