For families wanting to ensure peace of mind for themselves and loved ones knowing that funeral services and expenses have been arranged for prior to the event, this is an excellent option. Pre-planning reduces added anxiety to an already grief-stricken family and removes doubt as too the intention of the deceased person wishes. Although most families pre-plan funerals to alleviate their loved ones of the financial burden left with funerals (the financial savings can be significant) there are families that are interested in creating scaled events to memorialize themselves or family members.
More and more people are pre-planning their funerals to save loved ones the stress of doing it during such an emotional time. Funeral pre-arrangements let you specify every detail of your funeral: what the ceremony will be like, how the body or ashes will be disposed of, the coffin or urn you select, etc.
How your friends and family say goodbye to you is determined by the type of event you choose. You can plan for a formal affair with a long list of speakers, a more casual event with only your closest friends and family present, or anything in between.
With any big decision in life, it’s helpful to have time to research and consider options — and funeral planning is no exception. Regardless of your age, personal situation, beliefs and customs, Simplicity offers flexible and secure funeral planning that meets your needs. Pre-planning your funeral helps:
