Funeral Preplanning

by Charlie Taggart

            Pre-Planning your funeral

            Funeral planning is something that will be done, to some extent, at least

once by everyone. In many cases it is done by a family member after a individual

has passed on. This burden is often difficult for a loved one as they are trying to

sort out their emotions and deal with their loss. Making funeral arrangements in

advance greatly reduces this burden.

            If you find yourself hesitant to pre-arrange your funeral, even with the best

intentions, you are not alone. We all know intellectually that death is inevitable, and

planning for and discussing it can be difficult, however, wouldn’t it be better to plan

ahead, calmly and sensibly, when you are in a normal mental and physical state,

having full ability to reason and discuss your arrangements and wishes with your family?

            Pre-arranging a funeral makes sense,  by doing so you are relieving  loved ones of a financial  burden, protecting assets from nursing home, federal,  and state  expenses , as well as assuring yourself and your loved ones peace of mind now and at the time of need.
