Preplanning
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of preplanning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own funeral arrangements.
Preplanning is the planning of memorial events before the need arises, often years before death occurs. A funeral director records your preferences for the type of service desired, music and flowers, and other information. You and your family receive a copy of these preferences, and the funeral home keeps a copy as well. Keeping these records in an accessible place is important to surviving family members.
Benefits of Preplanning:
- Advanced planning allows you to express your own wishes.
- Once your funds are placed in an irrevocable trust or life insurance product NO ONE can make any withdrawals and your funds will not count as an asset if you enter a nursing home.
- There is no income tax liability in an insurance product.
- Your funeral plan is transferable in case you move away.
- It relieves your family of the financial burden of your funeral.
- By relieving your family of burdensome decisions at a difficult time, you are showing your love and respect for their needs.
