At the Cremation Society of Northern Kentucky, we have been encouraging families to pre-plan final arrangements for generations. We are pleased to say many are listening.
People are discovering the many benefits of pre-planning final services that range from financial to emotional.
Have you considered pre-planning? Do you recognize all the benefits? Here are many of the reasons that should prompt you to start the process.
Keeps You in Control
When you take the initiative to pre-plan, you are clearly letting your wishes be known to loved ones left behind. This can include major decisions, like the choice between cremation or a casket burial, to more details, like favorite songs, religious verses, and who you would like to eulogize you.
Can Help Prevent Overspending
You can also help control how much is spent on your final services when you preplan. This keeps families from overspending during this emotional time.
Reduces Stress
The period following the death of a loved one is emotional and stressful. Making significant decisions in advance can minimize stress. They can provide comfort by letting the family know the choices are yours.
Provides Peace of Mind
Like all of life’s major events, funerals deserve appropriate consideration and planning. Many of those we assist in pre-planning tell us what a sense of relief they feel afterward. Pre-planning delivers peace of mind for those who undertake the process.
Minimizes Conflicts and Disagreements
Pre-planned funerals can help reduce or even eliminate family conflicts around the funeral. It removes doubt about the desires of the loved one.
Allows for Families to Focus on Supporting Each Other
With many of the immediate decisions made, family members have a better opportunity to grieve and support each other. Pre-planning is a thoughtful expression of love.
Financial Benefits
Besides helping to control spending, many funeral homes offer discounts when pre-planning. They may even “lock in” current pricing.
You Can Specify Favorite Charities
Pre-planning allows you to clearly specify any non-profit organizations and charitable causes that you would like to have supported. This allows you to help identify organizations that can benefit from memorial contributions.
Allows More Personalization
Pre-planning provides opportunities for you to customize final services, including personal touches that may reflect your personality. It can even provide the ability to have food and beverages for a celebration of life.
