Funeral planning is something no one wants to think about or deal with, but it is an inevitable part of life and should be thought about. Pre-planning your funeral service or at least taking care of a few big decisions eases the process for family and friends when the time comes to make arrangements. The professional team from TP White & Sons Funeral Home in Cincinnati, OH, discusses three steps you should take now to make funeral planning easier. 

Funeral Planning: 3 Tasks to Do Now

1. Make Important Decisions

When it comes time for a family to arrange a funeral, it can be hard to focus through the grief, and guidance ahead of time helps ease the stress. Specify in your will or funeral planning arrangements if you want burial, cremation, or something else for yourself. When unspecified, this decision can be truly difficult for those in charge of funeral planning.

2. Choose a Funeral Director    

Deciding on a funeral home and director now can be a huge relief for your family. It not only requires less work on their end, but it also gives them peace of mind you’ll receive the services you wanted. It provides you with a point of contact to arrange details beforehand so they can pass them along. If there is a specific person you would like to perform the ceremony, give their name and contact information in your plans. A good funeral director will ensure the details are seen to while your loved ones are grieving.

3. Arrange the Payment

If you are able, make plans to pay for the service in advance. This is not an option for all, but any amount of burden you can remove from others in a time of emotional stress is a kind and noble gesture. Talk to your chosen funeral director about options for pre-payment or arranging payments for the future.
