More and more people
today are choosing to preplan their own or a loved one’s funeral as an alternative
to having others make the decisions for them.
Three fundamental
benefits of planning a funeral in advance are:
- The peace of mind that comes with knowing your
wishes have been made known and the details taken care of.
- The comfort of knowing your family will not
have to make funeral arrangement decisions during the difficult time of their
initial grief.
- Assurance that informed, thoughtful decisions
have been made about the funeral home provider, choice of service and costs.
Advance planning or
prefunding your funeral can be an important part of estate planning or
preparing to apply for Medicaid or SSI benefits.
