Record Your Wishes

Record Your Wishes

There are many benefits to end-of-life planning. Here are the top ten reasons why you should consider making your pre-arrangements ahead of time:
  • It means there will be fewer opportunities for argument and indecision about your wishes among family members after you're gone.
  • Your survivors will never have to worry about making the wrong decisions. You will have told them exactly what you want.
  • No mistakes and no oversights. After you're gone, everything will be done your way.
  • You have peace-of-mind now knowing that we will follow through with your wishes.
  • After your death, your wishes will be honored.
  • Pre-planning is the responsible thing to do. It removes the burden from family members.
  • You can make complex decisions ahead of time when you have the time to think things through.
  • Funeral pre-planning can involve pre-payment. This will save your family money and avoid any financial burdens.
  • Funeral pre-planning involves an awareness of the reality of death.
  • You are guaranteed to get what you want.

Loving people pre-arrange for two reasons...

Financial Need
  • It makes sense to secure today's pricing for items you will ultimately need.  Knowing you won't be charged twice in the future. 
  • You can make payments over time, customized to your specific budget.
  • Many people plan for things that COULD happen, such as purchasing hail or flood insurance.  Why not prepare for something that WILL happen?
Emotional Need
  • Allow your family the peace of mind to not guess what you would have wanted.
  • Allow your family the opportunity to mourn and grieve without second guessing their decisions for you.
  • You have tackled other aspects of your life and planning for your family...allow this to be another sign of love you do for them.

But I have life insurance...

We believe everyone should have life insurance for their survivors.  Some things to consider however:
  • Most insurance policies do not grow in their death benefit.  That amount from decades prior may not cover all wishes in the future.
  • Life insurance dollars will never make decisions.  It may fulfill the financial need of the family, but not the emotional need. 
  • Some life insurance policies have conditions to payouts due to manner of death.
  • Our funeral home, like most, will require payment in full prior to cremation or burial.  Not all policies are assignable in this manner.
