During our liftime we generally make many major decisions, what college to go to, what career path to take, where to go to church, who to marry, when to have children, etc., These are all decisions that are a part of life, but when it comes to death or pre-planning a funeral we tend to put off talking about it much less planning for it.

The truth is, planning your funeral in advance and weighing out all your funeral options now versus later can greatly decrease emotional distress of your family. Once you are gone, how will your family know what songs you want played, what casket color you prefer, whether you want a vault, or whether you even want a service at all?
In my experience, people who have pre-planned their funeral in advance have peace of mind knowing that it is all handled and their family don't have to be out any money or have to make difficult decisions during a time when they are already grieving.
When emotions are involved, families tend to overspend. When we are grieving we want to make sure that our loved ones have the absolute best, but the more expensive, does not necessarily mean that it is the best way to make a service memorable.
Once you have made your decision to pre-arrange your funeral or cremation services, let your family know your wishes, write them down, fill out the downloadable form from this website, keep copies at the funeral home of your choice and in a safe place such as a safety deposit box.
The fact is, everyone will pass away at some point, wouldn't it be a good idea to make your wishes known and go ahead and explore all your funeral options so your family don't have the burden of doing it.
