5. Your children won’t have to find a way to pay for your funeral.
You may not be able to shield your children from the emotionally difficult parts of a passing, but you can help ensure that they don’t have to worry about money at the same time. In the days immediately following your death, your assets may be unavailable and life insurance can take six to eight weeks to pay. Without a prepaid plan in place, your children will be expected to cover all of your funeral expenses before funeral services. Pre-planning—and prepaying—means relief from that burden with monthly funeral payment options.
4. Your family members won’t need to worry about getting it wrong.
Would Dad have wanted the hand-carved, solid mahogany casket? Would Mom have wanted every last member of her church to attend the funeral service? When plans aren’t prepared beforehand, loved one’s guess—and then worry that maybe they got it wrong. Save them from doubt and anxiety over getting it right by planning in advance.
At the time of need, funeral arrangements are usually made in a couple of days. Even if you lay out your wishes in a will, your children can be left scrambling, since funerals often take place before a will is located or read. To protect your loved ones from facing hurried decisions during an already difficult time, plan your funeral in advance. Putting the details in writing not only ensures your wishes will be followed but saves others from needing to make judgment calls on your behalf.
