When is the Best Time to Pre-Plan Your Funeral?

By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you'll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress. This way you can carefully choose specific items you want and need and pay for them now. Prepaid Investments through funeral homes allows families to fund their funerals in advance through different investment vehicles.

The Six Common Reasons for Prearranging Funerals

Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before. Because of factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral can make a lot of sense.

In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for prearranging their own funerals:

  1. Communicating your wishes
  2. Reducing stress for friends and family at an already emotional time
  3. Saving money
  4. Guaranteeing your family will never have to pay more for your funeral — no matter what happens with inflation
  5. Showing you care
  6. Relieving your loved ones of the financial responsibility
