How Funeral Preplanning Can Help Secure Your Legacy With Ease

When it comes to questions of legacy most individuals think of their loved ones and the memory they are left with as the most important part of that legacy. Funeral Preplanning is a way to show your loved ones that they are foremost in your mind even when you are considering the end of your life. In today’s blog we will be looking at how preplanning your funeral can help secure your wishes and why it might be the best choice for you and your loved ones.

Funeral Preplanning allows you to ease many burdens on your loved ones, both burdens that involve decision making at a difficult time and financial burdens as funeral preplanning also includes funeral prepaying. Preplanning also allows you control over your legacy, allowing you to make decisions about things such as type of funeral service desired, burial or cremation, casket or cremation container/casket, viewing, music selection, readings and where the funeral will be held. The most important element here is choice, you get to tell the unique story of your life your way.  Prepaid funeral arrangements require your executor or legal next of kin to follow your wishes. The only way to not follow these wishes is if it presents a financial hardship on the family, is considered unreasonable or unethical.

You can explore what funeral options are available to you and what burial options you might prefer whether those be a traditional burial or a cremation, whether you want a religious or non-religious ceremony, what cultural traditions you want followed and many other important considerations for your passing. Preplanning ensures that your loved ones aren’t left wondering how you want your funeral to be handled and that a plan is in place that details your wishes and preferences.
