Know the facts and benefits of Pre-Planning
Fact
Every household will eventually experience the death of a loved one.
Fact
Most families will find themselves poorly prepared to deal with the problems, indecision, and costs that a death will force upon them.
Fact
The decision to pre-arrange your cemetery and funeral plans today is a strong and wise economic decision.
Fact
A powerful reason for making pre-arrangements is the comfort and security you bring to your loved ones.
Benefits
Focus on what is important
It is comforting to know that those you love will not be caught off guard and will not have to make difficult decisions for you. Being prepared for this inevitable crisis means that your family can focus on the important elements of grieving rather than having to focus on the decisions they need to make in arranging a funeral.
Inflation Protection
Based upon the last six decades, we know the cost of cemetery and funeral arrangements will continue to increase. Pre–arrangement allows the cost to be secured regardless of the effects of inflation.
Conserve Life Insurance
Life insurance is for the living, not for the deceased. Most life insurance is purchased to allow a family time to adjust to the loss of income that a death causes. If pre-arrangements are not made, a large amount of insurance proceeds may be spent on cemetery and funeral items, adding even greater financial burdens on the loved ones left behind.
Payments
Funeral and cemetery costs are expenses that every individual must plan to pay. These needs can be met today out of a current income through budgeted payments.
Peace of Mind
When a death occurs in any family or among friends, the grief is tremendous and the healing time can be very long. Pre-arrangements have a positive impact on family and friends simply because you have made your own decisions. This peace of mind provides benefits far beyond the dollars spent.
