Today, pre-planning your funeral
wishes is becoming increasingly popular. People of all ages
are realizing the benefits of planning ahead and are becoming
more aware of what options are available to them.
Pre-planning
your funeral has several advantages. When you pre-plan, you
are ensured that your funeral wishes will be just as you
specified, relieving your family from making haste decisions
when they are emotionally distressed. During the pre-planning
process you can make choices about the type of casket and
burial vault you would like to where your funeral service will
be held and any special music selections. Because you have
taken the time and consideration to plan ahead, you can
arrange for a meaningful funeral that reflects your life and
directs your family for their peace of mind.
Another
advantage is that you can choose to pre-finance your funeral
through an interest-bearing trust. Trusts allow you to
guarantee funeral service and merchandise costs, such as the
price of the casket, burial vault, and the traditional funeral
service operating costs, at today’s prices. The trust can be
tax-exempt. Most importantly, trusts relieve the financial
burden from your spouse, children, and other family members.
Funeral
trusts can also be useful in estate planning. Persons find
funeral trusts especially helpful in guaranteeing funeral
specifics, qualifying for public aid, and moving funds out of
an estate while assuring a known eventual expense.
