Pre-Planning

Pre-Planning


Few people like to consider the inevitability of their death. For many, preparing by pre-planning or pre-paying for their funeral is even more difficult to act on. When one begins to understand the financial and emotional pressures that a funeral imposes on our loved ones, it becomes clear that paying in advance is the considerate and responsible thing to do. 
 
Like the protection that life insurance provides for loved ones, planning, and paying a funeral in advance, can protect loved ones against financial concerns, and much more. You have always been there to protect them throughout your life; why not after your death?


Today, more individuals and families than ever before are making the decision to pre-arrange their funeral. Because of factors such as inflation; fewer extended family members living close by; and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral makes a lot of sense. Here are the most important reasons why you should make your funeral arrangements in advance.


Choose the way you'll be remembered

How do you want to be remembered? Maybe you had a long career in the military that you'd like to celebrate. Maybe you love animals and would like to encourage donations in your memory to your local humane society. When you pre-arrange your funeral, you express your wishes in writing, so that your loved ones will know exactly how to celebrate your life, and honour your memory.


Make it easier on your loved ones — emotionally and financially

Did you know that there are more than 70 details that you must tend to in the first 24 hours after a death? Are you and/or your loved ones ready to assume all that responsibility? When you pre-arrange your funeral, you make those first days easier for your loved ones. When you also choose to pre-pay, you save them money. Often, people make unnecessary purchases, due to the stress of making last-minute funeral arrangements. By taking care of the arrangements yourself, you free them from spending more than needed.


Protect yourself and your family from rising costs

Like most things, funeral costs tend to increase every year. That means that a funeral today will probably cost less than the same funeral three or four years from now. Paying for your funeral now will save your loved ones money when you pass on.


Let your family know your final wishes

Pre-arrangement takes the guess work out of funeral planning. When you pre-arrange your funeral, everyone benefits. You know that your wishes will be carried out, and your loved ones know exactly how to honour you.
