Planning Ahead
Preplanning, it’s one of the most thoughtful things you can do for your family.
Even when it is expected, the death of a loved one is very difficult. Far too often, the surviving spouse or the children are left to make personal and financial decisions at the worst possible time. This can create additional stress and emotional overspending. This difficult time is much easier when survivors can spend time honoring their loved one and comforting one another.
In the privacy of your own home you can plan every detail exactly as you wish. You will be more at ease knowing the financial arrangements have been made and your family will one day have the comfort of knowing that everything was handled in accordance with your wishes.
Simply put, preplanning does several important things for you:
Protects Your Family
Chances are your spouse or children will have to make these tough decisions on their own at a very emotional time if you haven’t planned ahead. Preplanning will protect your family from a great deal of emotional stress later.
Provides Peace of Mind
How do you put a value on knowing you have saved your loved ones from having to make difficult emotional and financial decisions on one of the worst days of their lives?
Ensures Your Personal Wishes Are Carried Out
Statistics show that 67% of the time women outlive their husbands, often leaving them to make all funeral and burial arrangements alone. Most of the time, they have no idea what their loved one would have wanted if they didn’t preplan.
Saves Money
Spare your family the risk of overspending due to emotional pressure. By planning ahead, you can also take full advantage of many financing options, preplanning discounts and other special discounts offered throughout the year by the various providers.
Conserves Life Insurance
Make sure your life insurance serves its intended purpose of supporting your loved ones, not paying for funeral expenses.
