Eternal rest is something that everyone goes
through. It is a part of life. It cannot be stopped and is bound to happen to
anyone at any time. Therefore, making funeral pre-arrangements is normal and is
even a good practice.
Here are the top reasons why:
1. You give your friends and family peace of mind.
Losing a loved one is a painful and even a
stressful experience. If you’re able to make pre-arrangements, this can give
them peace of mind and comfort. There are about 70 details ranging from caskets
to cremation urns that are needed to be tended
to in a funeral arrangement. If you’ve already handled these, then your family
members don’t need to worry about them, especially as they are already in an
emotional time.
2. You can communicate your wishes.
Whether you want to communicate the type of funeral
you want or who you want to inherit your possessions, your family will know
this because you have made your wishes clear.
You can also communicate whether you want a
traditional funeral where your loved ones can see you for the last time, or if
you want to be cremated, among other things. If you desire to be cremated, it
will help your family members as well if you already have a cremation urn, cremation jewellery, or a keepsake urn for yourself. If you want
to, you can also decide if you want your cremains to be buried, scattered, or
if you want your family to keep it in an urn.
3. Your family members can avoid misunderstanding
and indecision.
In an emotional time, arguments can take place.
However, if you already pre-planned, this will be avoided. Misunderstanding and
indecisions will be prevented because you’ve already made your decisions. Your
loved ones just ought to follow them.
4. You can save your family from financial burdens.
There are funeral pre-arrangements that include
prepayment. Your loved ones won’t have to worry financially because your
funeral costs including the cost of cremation urns and caskets will be
covered by your funeral insurance. Since funeral costs also increase, if you
prepare today, this will save you money compared to preparing in the future.
5. You’re showing that you care.
Planning for your funeral is a gesture that you
care for your loved ones. It shows that you don’t want to burden them whether
it’s with the decision-making, financial aspect, among other responsibilities.
You understand that they may not be ready to do all of this at an emotional
time. And although they are willing to take care of the funeral, you make
everything easier for them by simply planning ahead, paying for arrangements
and adult urns, and taking care of most of the funeral responsibilities.
6. It will also give you peace of mind.
Your loved ones are not the only one who will have a peace of mind if you plan for your funeral ahead. This will also give you comfort and peace knowing that you are prepared for whatever happens. It will alleviate the stress from you because you know you will not be a burden for your family if the time comes.
Making funeral pre-plans and talking about them is
essential. We should not shy away from it but rather have an open mind so we
can get the information and knowledge we need. That way, you and your family
and friends will be prepared for whatever happens.
