| Benefits of Planning Your Funeral While You’re Still Alive |
Pre-planning a funeral can be an intimidating process, but it offers a
wide range of benefits. Many individuals hesitate to plan ahead and don’t know
how to broach the subject with their family. Here are some benefits that will
help make the decision easier and encourage you to consider pre-planning:
1. The Funeral is Carried out According to the Decedent’s Wishes
Pre-planning allows individuals to plan all aspects of their funeral,
including the memorial service and the actual disposal of the body. For example,
individuals can choose cremation instead
of a burial instead of leaving this option up to the family members who might
be uncomfortable with the decision.
2. All Expenses are Paid For
All expenses are paid for in advance so the loved ones left behind
don’t have to deal with the financial burden of the move. Funerals can be
expensive and a sudden death can sometimes have a big impact on the family’s
finances, which is why it’s a good idea to pay for and arrange the funeral
service in advance when the individual is in a financially sound state.
3. There are no Conflicts in the Family
Planning a funeral can be a trying time for the family and it can also
test relationships. Everyone will have a different idea and opinion of what the
decedent expected for their funeral, which can lead to unnecessary conflicts.
That’s one of the reasons why it’s a good idea to plan in advance and remove
the decision from the family’s hands. This ensures there are no conflicts and
the funeral is carried out quickly after the death. The family members will have
proper time to grieve.
