Planning Ahead Means Everything
We know that nobody wants to think about their own funeral. We also know how impactful planning ahead can be for the loved ones left behind. That’s why we created a simple preplanning guide to help you get started.
Why Do I Need to Preplan My Final Arrangements?
Ease the Emotional Burden on Your Loved Ones
Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in someone’s life. The sadness and pain of the loss can be exacerbated by the burden of planning and paying for a funeral. You can’t relieve the feeling of loss, but you can create comfort and ease the burden on those left behind with a preplan.
Ease the Financial Burden on Your Loved Ones
The average funeral in the United States costs between $6000-$8000, and like everything else, costs are on the rise. It’s estimated that the average cost of a funeral will nearly double over the next 20 years. Not only can a preplan help you prepare so you don’t burden your loved ones with that cost, it can also help you relieve some of that cost.
Ease the Burden of Guilt on Yourself
Whether extravagant or simple, you want your final arrangements to reflect your wishes. But your wishes can be expensive and leave you feeling guilty wondering how your family will cover the cost. With our preplanning solutions, you can know your wishes will be fulfilled, guilt-free.

Here’s What People Say About Preplanning
Preplanning my funeral is one of the best decisions I ever made. I took the time to carefully outline my preferences, from the type of service I want, down to the songs I want played. When my time comes, my family won't have to make difficult decisions while grieving; they'll be able to focus on honoring my memory instead. It brings me peace of mind knowing my wishes will be fulfilled, and I'll spare them from the stress of trying to guess what I would have wanted. Plus, knowing that I've also made financial arrangements ensures that I won't leave the burden of funeral expenses on my family after I pass. Preplanning truly makes a difficult time a little bit easier for everyone involved.
