Many people don’t spend much time thinking about what arrangements they want when they pass away, and even fewer communicate those wishes to their loved ones in advance. Funeral pre-planning gives you the chance to think about what you want to happen when you die, and can make your wishes known to your family and friends ahead of time. The following explains the benefits of these considerations.

What Parts of a Funeral Can Be Pre-Planned?

Many aspects of a funeral service can be planned in advance, including whether you want to be buried or cremated, what type of casket or urn you want, who your pallbearers will be, and which readings or songs will be featured. The type of service you choose may be influenced by your religious beliefs or military service. These days, many people are choosing nontraditional funeral arrangements that reflect their individual personalities, so feel free to plan a funeral that’s uniquely you.
