| Pre-Planning Your Funeral |
Funerals
can be a complicated process and organizing it at the last moment during your
time of grief can be distressing. That’s one of the reasons why we at The Jerry Spears Company, recommend
pre-planning it. This has a number of advantages, including the ones mentioned
below:
1.
Comfort For Your Family
The
death of a loved one is never easy to handle. Most family members are in a
state of heightened distress and it’s easy to become agitated or angry during
the planning process. By pre-planning a funeral, you allow family members to
grieve without having to deal with practicalities. They can simply call a
funeral director to inform them of the death before focusing on healing.
2. Cost
Savings
Booking
a funeral in advance allows you to fix the cost of it according to current
rates. Funeral costs rise over time so if it is $2,000 today, it might cost
$3,000 a few years down the line. Pre-planning and booking one now saves money
and ensures your family doesn’t have to dip into their savings to arrange for a
funeral.
3. Your
Personal Wishes
Pre-planning
a funeral means you can ensure the funeral is carried out according to your
personal wishes. For example, if you choose cremation, the funeral director
will ensure that instruction is followed even if some family members object to
it. Most family members will adhere to your wishes but pre-planning provides
additional assurance at no extra cost.
Pre
planning is easy and quick as you only need to fill out a small form before discussing
your options with a funeral director. Most funeral houses don’t even require a
personal meeting so you can arrange everything through phone.
