What is advance funeral planning?
Advance funeral planning simply means planning your funeral in advance. Before your death, you can secure end-of-life decisions such as details about your funeral and burial or cremation options. These may seem like relatively simple steps, but did you know that your loved ones will likely need to complete at least 125 tasks at the time of your death? You can take care of many of these tasks beforehand, which relieves a heavy burden from your loved ones.
What are the benefits of advance funeral planning?
Gift to your loved ones.
Planning your funeral ahead of time relieves the emotional and financial burden from your loved ones so they can support one another instead of planning your funeral. It’s a beautiful final gift to leave those you love.
Peace of mind.
You choose how you want to be remembered, and can take comfort in knowing plans for your final wishes are in place for your loved ones.
Financial security.
By making payment arrangements when you plan your funeral, you have the peace of mind of knowing your funds are protected. This helps ease the financial burden on your loved ones by ensuring key expenses are covered.
