Planning Ahead

Why is it Important to Pre-Plan a Funeral?

Pre-planning your funeral is an important and thoughtful decision that provides numerous benefits for both you and your loved ones. Firstly, it allows you to express your final wishes and preferences, ensuring that your funeral or memorial service aligns with your values and desires. By doing so, you relieve your family of the burden of making difficult decisions during a time of grief and uncertainty, sparing them the stress of guessing your preferences. Additionally, pre-planning can also help ease the financial aspects of your passing, as you can make financial arrangements in advance, potentially protecting your family from unexpected financial strain. Overall, pre-planning is a meaningful way to ensure that your legacy is honored with the dignity and respect it deserves while providing peace of mind to both you and your family during a challenging time.

Preplanning is an act of love that transcends time. It ensures that your unique life story is celebrated in a way that truly reflects your values and desires. It's a chance to leave a lasting legacy of thoughtfulness and care, knowing that you've made a challenging time a little bit easier for those you love. So, preplanning your funeral is not just about preparing for the future; it's about embracing the present and creating a sense of comfort and security for the journey ahead.

What does it cost to pre-arrange a funeral?

Individuals and families can pre-arrange a funeral at no cost to them. The arrangements will be available once death has occurred. But many individuals wish to pre-fund their funeral now, so that the burden and responsibility of paying for the funeral does not fall to someone else.



For individuals who elect to pre-fund their funeral, they have different options from which to choose. They typically involve a cash purchase of an insurance policy or trust today, which will be cashed in at the time of death. The policy or trust is designed to increase in value over time to keep pace with any increases in funeral cost over that same period. Our inflation-proof and price-guaranteed pre-funded plans are offered through Physicians Mutual. Payment programs are also available.
