Pre-Planning a Funeral

Funeral planning is an important part of estate planning, an opportunity to define final wishes, and ensure your family is cared for. Funeral planning can be done far in advance of need, developing a written funeral plan to avoid confusion at the time of death.

Work with a funeral home to preplan a funeral or cremation. You have the opportunity to prepay funeral costs as well. As costs are expected to rise, locking in today's price for a future funeral or cremation service makes good financial sense.

Dealing With Grief

Grieving the loss of someone you cared about is natural. The intensity of grief may cause anger, despair, or profound sadness. The support of friends and family and the structure of the funeral or memorial service greatly help the grieving. Mourners can take specific steps to combat overwhelming feelings.
