The Value of Pre-Planning

Thinking about the details of your own funeral can be intimidating, but pre-planning brings you and your family peace of mind because your plans and wishes are all recorded.

There are many reasons for pre-planning.  Sometimes you just want to be prepared and assume the financial responsibility of paying for your funeral so no one needs to wonder about who will take care of it. Sometimes you are experiencing an end-of-life situation and want to get everything down on paper so it is not another thing for you and your family to worry about. 

One thing those who pre-plan seem to have in common is a sense of relief at the end of the process because they have made their wishes known.

There are other clear advantages to pre-planning, such as preserving your life insurance or moving your assets into a trust, but these logistical advantages are usually secondary to peace of mind.
