Births, weddings, graduations, anniversaries and retirement command our best planning effort to ensure success.
However, we may neglect planning for the most significant life event of all, a funeral. We would never dream of
waiting until two days before a wedding to begin our plans. Why do we wait to plan a funeral? The consequences
can be devastating to those we leave behind.
Planning for a funeral deserves the same advance planning attention we give to other equally important occasions.
Advance Planning means your family and friends will not have the burden of making difficult decisions for you
when you die. They may find themselves emotional, distressed or financially unable to deal with the situation.
Your funeral planning professional can provide you with valuable information so that you can make choices that are
right for you. Some of the decisions to be made include selecting a casket, vault or urn and what type of
remembrance service you would like. Because it is your plan, your family will know they are honoring you and
your wishes.
Funeral costs continue to rise, making it difficult to plan financially for the future. Using today's dollars, advance
planning with a guaranteed funeral plan provides a solution to this dilemma. Those who fund a pre-arrangement
now can tell their families that the choices made today will be honored in the future, and they will not be required
to pay for funeral price increases. This is not only a kind and considerate act to perform for one's family and friends
but makes good sense as well.
Pre-arranged funeral plans can be irrevocably assigned to pay only for funeral expenses. Should there ever be a
need to apply for Medicaid, the funds in the funeral plan will be exempt in most cases and not considered part of
your available assets. Contact your funeral planning professional for more information.
"Don't worry, Mom. We'll take care of everything."
Your children have the best intentions and believe they can provide for your future needs. Because we don't know
what our personal circumstances will be when a loved one dies, planning ahead prevents this potential burden. Your
children may have difficult financial or personal circumstances that could prevent them from fulfilling the very
sincere promise "to take care of everything."
