What Is Actually Involved In Preplanning Your Funeral?

What Is Actually Involved In Preplanning Your Funeral?

Preplanning involves making arrangements for your funeral services and final disposition while you are alive and well. It's a way to ensure your wishes are fulfilled as you envision them.

The process can spare your loved ones the stress and confusion that often accompanies making these decisions during grief. It's also a gift you can give your loved ones, allowing them to focus on healing and remembering your life instead of worrying about logistical details like funeral pricing. Here are some things to consider when preplanning your funeral:

• Do you want a religious or secular service, and would you rather be buried or cremated?
• Consider whether you have a specific location for your service or burial.
• Research local funeral homes and select one that aligns with your needs and preferences.
• You should schedule a meeting with a funeral director to discuss your plans and get a funeral pricing estimate
• Funeral costs can vary greatly depending on the type of service and disposition you choose. Determine your budget and work with your funeral director to plan a service that fits within your means.
• Pre-paying for your funeral can relieve the financial burden on your loved ones and ensure that your wishes are carried out exactly as you envision them.
• If you opt for burial or the interment of your ashes, you must select a casket or urn from simple, affordable options to ornate and expensive ones.
• Do you want flowers or donations to a specific charity, or would you like a particular type of music played or a specific person to speak at your service?

Discuss Your Plans With Your Family

Consider what matters to you and communicate them to the funeral director you work with. It's also necessary that once you've made your plans, be sure to communicate them to your loved ones. This step ensures that your wishes are fulfilled and that there are no surprises/disagreements after your death.
