It’s not easy to talk about…but it is a matter of when, not if.
Of all the ways we can express love for each other, one of the most thoughtful is
planning for a funeral before the need arises.
Preplanning is not new. We plan for vacations, weddings, and doctor’s appointments,
education, job changes and moving to make the transitions easier for ourselves and
our families. We buy health, home, life and auto insurance to protect us in the
event of a crisis. Equally important is discussing your funeral preferences with
your family and even setting aside funds for your final expenses.
By preplanning, you:
- Relieve your loved ones of the emotional burden of decision making at a time of
grief by having all of your affairs in order.
- Reserve money for a future need, protecting against rising costs.
- Have the peace of mind that knowing your desires are documented and fulfilled, and
your loved ones won’t have to guess or argue about your wishes.
Since ancient times, people honor the unique life of those they love with a special
tribute. Funeral services help survivors face the reality of death, the first important
step in working through grief. The funeral gives friends and relatives an opportunity
to express their love and respect for someone who was very important to them. They
share the grief of their loss, comfort one another, and help one another with adjusting
to a new phase of life.
One of the most satisfying benefits of planning ahead is in knowing that your wishes
and desires are aligned with your financial circumstances. Preplanning with pre-payment:
- Guarantees your family will never pay more for the selected guaranteed funeral goods
and services.
- Saves money by planning and funding tomorrow’s funeral at today’s costs.
- Ensures that your family won’t be burdened with extra expenses while your savings
are tied up in probate, depleted by taxes, unexpected healthcare costs, or diminished
by early withdrawal penalties.
- Provides peace of mind for you and your family, by ensuring that your funeral service
is the way you wanted it.
- Gives you the opportunity to have all of your questions answered.
- Your Berndt-Ledesma Funeral Home director handles the tedious legal, financial,
and insurance paperwork while your family is grieving.
