Contemplating your funeral isn’t something many people make a habit of, but several advantages can come with thinking ahead. Funeral pre-planning at any age is a valuable service to consider. Establishing last wishes and funeral rites can give many people peace of mind and may also alleviate a significant burden from your loved ones after your passing.

Benefits of Funeral Pre-Planning

1. Staying Ahead of Inflation

When you pre-plan your funeral, you pay today’s prices for your casket or urn, funeral service, burial, and general funeral home costs. If you wait years to plan your funeral, you’ll pay the inflated prices of the future economy. This can be a significant financial burden on family and loved ones who may be left paying the bills. With funeral pre-planning, all expenses are handled now and at a considerable discount.

2. Time to Think & Organize

When you pre-plan, you have all the time you need to organize paperwork (birth certificate, military papers, funeral and life insurance policies) and to find a funeral home you like. You can contemplate burial versus cremation, where you’d like to be laid to rest, and the smaller details of your ceremony. Even better, you’ll have time to make adjustments in the coming months or years should something you might have forgotten come to mind.

3. Ensuring Your Last Wishes Are Met

Many people find peace of mind knowing their last wishes are met. Funeral pre-planning allows you to design your funeral service from top to bottom. Choose the music you want to be played, preferred religious speakers, who will deliver the eulogy, dress code, and all the other aspects of the ceremony that will truly make it your own. The funeral home will commit to your wishes and ensure they’re followed once you’ve passed.
