So what is Advance Funeral Planning? Advance Funeral Planning is the process of planning for your funeral long before the need arises and, therefore, making things easier for your family members at one of the most difficult times of their lives-the death of someone they love. By planning your funeral in advance, much of the paperwork has already been completed and many of the expenses have been pre-paid. This allows your loved ones to focus on their grief and the creation of a meaningful and personalized ceremony rather than being consumed by the details and business of planning a funeral. In turn, you have the peace of mind of knowing that the task of selection and difficult decision-making has been taken care of.
Relieve your family of the emotional burden:
- Allow your family the time to build a foundation for healing, to support one another, and to celebrate their memories of you.
- Express your own wishes
- Save your family from the stress of wondering if they chose the right things for you or if they left out any important details.
- You can take comfort in knowing that you have helped make the most difficult time of your family's life a little easier.
Relieve your family of the (often sudden) financial burden:
- Save thousands of dollars by 'freezing' the price of the funeral at today's costs.
- Alleviate emotional overspending.
- Relive your family members of the financial burden and allow them focus on supporting one another and celebrating their memories of you - rather than worrying over how they will pay for the funeral.
- Our pre-arrangement plans are exempt from Medicare/Medicaid qualifications and are also tax free.
- Our plans are portable and transferable.
As funeral professionals, we see the relief that families experience when a funeral has been planned in advance. Advance Funeral Planning certainly makes a difficult time much easier to bear. Indeed, it is a gift of compassion and a smart financial decision for you and your family.
