 The
decision to prearrange a funeral, whether for yourself
or another, is not an easy one to make. Try to remember
that prearrangement is not a preoccupation with
death, but an excellent strategy for being prepared.
The main factor in prearranging your own funeral
is that you are in charge. You can take
comfort in knowing that all decisions are your own
and that your funeral is planned just the way you
want it to be.
The first step to being prepared is to discuss the
idea with your family. The funeral will directly
affect them, so listen carefully and note all of
their suggestions. The second step is to schedule
an appointment with the funeral director. This meeting
can be held either at the funeral home or in the
comfort of your own home.

There
are three requirements to prearrange
a funeral: |
1. Place
Information On File:
During
the prearrangement conference,
the basic biographical information
needed for an obituary as well
as a death certificate is recorded.
This information is kept on file
safely at the funeral home and
can be updated as necessary. |
2. Select
Merchandise:
After
recording the information, the
casket and vault are selected.
These are added to the file. |
3. Prepay:
Prefunding
the funeral is a choice many people
make to further ease a possible
financial burden on surviving
family members. It allows you
to arrange a specific kind of
service based on today's cost.
It also assures an adequate fund
to pay for the service.
Paying for your funeral today
will guarantee the full payment
of the funeral at no additional
cost in the future. There are
two separate ways to prepay a
funeral:
A.
Prepay by funeral trust.
B. Prepay by funeral insurance. |
