What is pre-planning?
It is making the decisions about your funeral or final disposition before
the need arises. By pre-planning your funeral, you eliminate burdensome
decision making when your family is least prepared to make those decisions.
The funeral preparations, if not arranged in advanced, must be dealt
with at the time of death. Many times, emotions are charged and the
family is physically exhausted.
Pre-planning
funerals has become more common today, either for yourself or a family
member. By pre-planning you remove a tremendous burden from your loved
ones and give yourself the confidence of knowing that your personal wishes
will be carried out. It is much easier for family members when important
decisions have been made in advance. Pre-planning allows you to prepare
for the future with a sense of security.
Another
benefit of pre-funding your funeral expenses is the exclusion of these
monies from your assets when applying for Medicaid coverage. A financial
benefit is that the funeral costs are "locked in" at today's
prices if paid in advance.
