Making funeral arrangements for a loved one can be a very stressful process. By preplanning, you help relieve that unwanted stress. Preplanning is truly one of the most thoughtful and loving things you can do for your family.
Prepaying
You also have the option of prepaying your funeral costs if you wish. You do not have to prepay in order to preplan. But, by prepaying, you lift the financial burden from your family. Prepaying allows you to lock in at a guaranteed price and you receive a lifetime guarantee that this is all you will ever have to pay for.
There are state laws regulating the funding process. Therefore, it is important to work with a licensed funeral professional when making plans to prepay funeral costs in advance.
