Planning a funeral after the death of a loved one is an overwhelming and emotionally draining experience, requiring your family to make extremely important decisions during one of the most difficult times of their lives. While contemplating your own death is never pleasant, pre-planning your funeral before the time arrives can save your loved ones a significant amount of pain and stress while ensuring your wishes are respected.

3 Benefits of Pre-Planning a Funeral

1. Making Things Easier for Your Family

pre-planning a funeralPre-planning a funeral lifts the burden of arranging a memorial service off of your loved ones, who may not be emotionally ready to find an appropriate venue, decide between burial and cremation, and choose fliers. Once you’ve made these decisions in advance, your family is free to focus on helping one another through this trying experience.

2. Expressing Your Wishes

Many people have specific desires about where they should be buried or have their ashes buried, the type of service they want, and the inscription on their headstone. Your funeral plan is a legally binding contract, so you can be confident that your wishes are honored.

3. Relieving the Financial Burden on Your Loved Ones

The loss of a family member can be financially devastating, with the average costs totaling over $7,000 for a full service with a viewing. While not always necessary, pre-planning a funeral gives you the option of paying in advance, sparing your family from wondering how they will pay for your memorial.
