Why choose a pre-paid funeral plan?
Bereavement is a natural and integral part of our lives and where funeral arrangements are concerned the wishes of the deceased should be paramount. A pre-paid plan garners all the advantages indicated above but most importantly allows the deceased to decide how they want to be remembered. From their perspective, every minute detail can be meticulously planned and organised on exclusively on their own terms. This covers everything from choosing from a range of cardboard or oak coffins to choice of transport, to the hymns (or other music choices) and most important the type and location of service that is desired. In short, the deceased can stipulate exactly how they want their life to be celebrated or remembered and not have this interpreted by close friends or family. Without being cynical or clinical, this is the single biggest reason for the surge in popularity of pre-paid funeral plans. Of equal importance, is the fact that the bereaved do not have to worry or concern themselves with organising anything because the funeral arrangements have already been made.
Checking the details
In general terms, the earlier an individual makes a choice to opt for a plan the quicker they can start to build their personal funeral or commemoration. As stated above it is vital to check what is included and ensure that these arrangements are made in a calm and dignified manner. For example, if a person is looking to be buried, the plan should obviously include the provision of a burial plot, in the grounds of the church of their choosing. As a corollary many plans have strict limits on the distance that can be travelled and on the type of vehicle that can be used for a given financial outlay. In terms of obtaining the best-possible deal, the big selling point of these plans is that they allow people to buy a future funeral at today's costs, in other words (without being clinical), saving money.
Most plans have guaranteed inclusions but to avoid any unexpected outlays at a very difficult time it is absolutely imperative to ensure that every single aspect that the deceased requires is covered.
