Pre-planning your end-of-life arrangements is
a meaningful way to ease the burden on your loved ones and ensure that your
wishes are carried out exactly as you desire. It’s a thoughtful decision that
gives you peace of mind and allows you to release any anxieties about what lies
ahead. Once you’ve completed your plan, you can rest easy knowing that the
details are already in place, and your family will be prepared.
Pre-planning is a matter of taking the time to think about – and record – your end-of-life desires. It’s a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. Once done, you can relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family.
Take control of your Final Wishes
Pre-planning is all about making sure your
desires are clear, allowing them to be respected when the time comes. By
planning ahead, you take control of the situation, ensuring that your family
and friends don’t have to make difficult decisions during an emotionally
challenging time.
Here’s how pre-planning can benefit you and
your family:
Simple
and Hassle-Free: There’s no need for health exams or lengthy
paperwork. The process is straightforward, and your plan is filed immediately
without delays.
Clear
Communication: Your loved ones will have a clear
understanding of your preferences, which alleviates uncertainty.
Relieves
Emotional Stress: By making your arrangements in advance, you
spare your family from having to make difficult choices on your behalf.
Protects
Against Inflation: By pre-paying for your plan, you can lock in
today’s prices, safeguarding your family from rising funeral costs in the
future.
Does Pre-planning Require Pre-payment?
The answer is simple: No. You can choose to document your wishes now, and your family can
pay for your services when the time comes.
However, you can also pre-fund your plan to
protect both yourself and your family from future price increases. This option
ensures that the services you’ve selected are fully covered when needed.
Once you’ve made the pre-payment, the funds
are securely placed in a state-approved trust or a highly-rated insurance
account. When your plan is paid in full, the price is locked in. You won’t have
to worry about additional costs, and your payment will be honored.
What’s more, your pre-plan is transferable. If
you move or decide to use a different funeral home in the future, your plan
will be honored, no matter where you live or which provider you choose within
the United States.
