Benefits of Planning Your Funeral While You’re Still Alive

Planning your funeral may seem like an omen to many, but it is a wise decision to make. Pre-planning offers several financial, personal, and practical advantages, which is why many people have started doing it recently. At Franklin Rainear, Jr., Affordable Funeral Service & Cremation, LLC, we provide comprehensive pre-planning services and will help clients through the entire process. Here’s a look at some of the biggest benefits:

1. Save Money

When you arrange for a funeral in advance, you need to pay the current rates. That means you can save potentially hundreds of dollars because funeral costs increase steadily every year. What cost $2,000 in the past now costs more than $10,000 to arrange. Many funeral homes also offer a payment plan so you can pay for the process in small installments.

2. Peace of Mind for the Family

Arranging for a funeral is very stressful when you are going through serious grief. You can spare your family that pain by making arrangements in advance. They just need to inform the funeral home and let the professionals handle everything.

3. Adherence to Your Wishes

Some people prefer to be cremated instead of buried while others are strictly against cremation and want a full traditional funeral ceremony. Pre-planning ensures your family members follow your wishes in the matter. Clients can list down all of their preferences in the planning form, giving the funeral home detailed instructions on what to do. These instructions are carried out to the letter so you don’t need to worry about family members interfering with them.
