4 Reasons You Should Start Your Burial Planning
While addressing your own death can be sobering and slightly uncomfortable, pre-planning provides a path past anxiety and fear. Rather, pre-planning allows you to make perfectly clear, well thought decisions for you and your family. By planning ahead, you assure your family is
satisfied your memorialization wishes will be exactly as you wanted.
-
Financial predictability
As soon as a burial plan is in place, the costs are locked in. Additionally, you have the option to spread out the payments over time, with little or no interest. Therefore, your burial costs will not increase, despite the fact that the rates rise over the years.
-
Avoid emotional overspending
Grieving family and loved ones are not in the frame of mind to make sound emotional, financial, and permanent decisions. You can help alleviate that pressure by taking away the burden of decision and financial weight. Pre-planned burial services offer a sense of precision and assurance for you (the planner) and a sense of relief for your loved ones.
-
Ensure your wishes
Avoid leaving your family guessing what your burial wishes are. Pre-planning allows you to express your final wishes and set a specific plan in motion. Additionally, you are providing your loved ones with a sense of comfort and closure, as they know your final wishes are being honored. You have the final say in everything from your burial space to your site marker.
-
Rationalized decisions
With a clear head and budget in mind, pre-planning results in balanced and confident decisions. You can pre-plan at your own pace without the pressure of hasty decisions.
Your family will be able to focus on comfort and closure as opposed to the details of burial services
