Pre-planned and Pre-paid Funerals

As it has become more acceptable for people to talk openly about death, the number of people planning for and paying for their funerals ahead of time has increased. Few people can know the timing of their own death in advance. It is possible to make preparations to ease the burden that will fall on your next-of-kin. By having questions answered, you will ensure that your wishes are known by those who are left to organize the details when the need arises.

Funeral arrangements shouldn't be the last thing on your mind

Pre-planning gives you the peace of mind of knowing that the arrangements you particularly want, will be conducted sensibly, in dignified respect to your wishes.

Pre-paying now will save you, your family or your estate a great deal of money. Bought now at today's prices, every detail is guaranteed no matter when it is needed or how much the costs of a funeral have risen in the mean time.

Sharing the intimate details of your preferred funeral service 5, 10 or 15 years ahead of its time can be quite a difficult concept to consider. If you write it down, who will you entrust the paper to? If you tell your partner, sons or daughters, how will they remember and plan your every wish in their time of sadness? Only you can advise sensibly on such individual requirements - Burial or Cremation? Church? Hymns? Music? Cars? Memorialization? Or perhaps you have a special requirement such as, scattering of ashes at a particular location?

Bereaved relatives have grief and anger to contend with. Adding the administrative burden of arranging the funeral to their confused and emotional state may lead to mistakes being made and unnecessary costs being incurred. Three cars are ordered when it should have been two; or a service at the church might be overlooked altogether.

Planning and paying for your funeral in advance saves your family the anguish and grief of doing anything other than remembering you and celebrating your life.

Why Pre-Pay Now?

The cost of funerals has historically increased above the normal levels of inflation and this is a theme that is predicted to continue. A funeral costing just 5000 ten years ago, would cost nearer 8500 now. It is impossible to say what that cost might be in five or ten more years time.

What is certain is, with a Funeral Plan, bought now at today's prices or paid for in convenient monthly installments, the quality of the service provided in respect of your planned wishes will not cost your family one penny more - whenever it is ultimately needed.
