We all know that it makes good sense to act today in order to prepare for tomorrow. Most of us do just that when it comes to our health, our retirement and our finances.
But we often shy away from the prearrangement necessary for our own funeral, or the funeral of a loved one.
Today, however, funeral prearrangement has never been easier. The Funeral Directors at Maison funéraire Lesssard-Stephens Funeral Home can help make certain that your funeral is managed exactly the way you want.
Funeral Prearrangement simply means that by planning now you can ensure that your funeral reflects your personal lifestyle, customs and beliefs. You determine your wishes in advance and record them with the funeral home. We understand that it is a difficult issue to talk about, but when making prearrangements this is the time to ask questions, receive clear answers and determine the cost.
Prearrangement can be made in a number of ways:
- depositing the full sum of money in trust at the time of the arrangements
- installment payments
- purchasing an insurance policy for prepaid funeral (either through single payment or monthly payments), or
- by merely recording one’s wishes and preferences to be carried out at the time of death (the cost to be paid by the estate)
While there is no prerequisite to prepay when you make your funeral prearrangements, it does make sense from a financial standpoint. Prepaying your funeral eases the financial burden that can surround unprepared families and friends at the time of loss.
Prearranging and preplanning is a decision that only you can make, however, it is a decision that will affect those who you love the most. Give yourself the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are prepared for whatever the future will bring.
