Why Pre-Plan?

Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange  funerals than ever before. Because of the factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral or that of another, can make a lot of sense. These are common reasons people give for prearranging funerals:

• Let your wishes be known.
• Reduce stress for friends and family at an already emotional time.
• Answers the question, " I wonder what type of funeral he or she would have wanted?"
• Show you care.
• Can relieve your loved ones of the financial responsibility. 
• If pre-funded, it can ease the financial burden on yourself.
• Make appropriate decisions while thinking clear instead of under stress.
• 
  Confronting and dealing with legal issues prior to a death, such as;Who has the right to make funeral arrangements?
  1. I know my family will disagree about my funeral.
  2. What if there are no blood relatives?
  3. All of my relatives live out of state.
  4. Is a last will and testament necessary?
  5. What will happen to me if I don't have a pre-arrangement in place?
  6. Medicaid requires an asset spend down, what do we do?
