PRE-PLANNING OPTIONS

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PREPLAN YOUR FUNERAL?

The best time to begin making your pre-arrangements is now, while you're thinking about it. While some people in their 40's and 50's may think it's too early to pre-plan, people who do say that prearranging their funerals is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren't leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to make selections related to your own funeral arrangements, you'll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress. This way you can carefully choose specific items you want and pay for them now. The prepaid plans  that we at Woods-Valentine offer,  allow you and your family to fund your funerals in advance.


THE SIX COMMON REASONS FOR PREARRANGING FUNERALS:

Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before. Because of  factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral is a wise thing to do. In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for prearranging their own funerals:
  • Lets your own wishes be known.
  • Reduces stress for friends and family at an already emotional time.
  • Saves money
  • Guarantees your family will never have to pay more for your funeral services and merchandise - no matter what happens with inflation.
  • Shows you care.
  • Relieves your loved ones of the financial burden.
