Here are some of the many advantages that advance funeral plans can offer:
Relieve your loved ones of major burdens.
Did you know that more than 70 details must be attended to in the first 24 hours after one’s passing? A thoughtfully preplanned service can spare your family from having to face decisions that can be both emotionally and financially taxing at a time that is already difficult. It also gives them lasting peace of mind knowing they have acted in accordance with your wishes.
You get to choose how you will be remembered.
When you preplan your funeral, it gives you free rein to create your unique life tribute. For example, if you are an avid reader, you might want to encourage people to donate books to a worthy cause or contribute to their local library. Perhaps you want to celebrate an illustrious military career or decades of devoted service to the homeless. By making funeral plans in advance, you can design a meaningful ceremony that honors your values and wishes.
Jot down a few thoughts or outline every detail.
Funeral preplanning allows you to design the entire ceremony. It can include as few or as many specifics as you wish, such as:

- Viewing, wake, or reception

- Foods to include at the reception
