Advance planning, pre-arrangement, or “pre-need”, is the process of planning a funeral before the need arises. Recording your wishes, choosing funeral and burial merchandise, and even making payment arrangements in advance can be advantageous to you and your family for several reasons.
Advance planning can relieve the emotional burden on your loved ones. Making decisions about your funeral needs in advance can help free your loved ones from a difficult responsibility. It allows them to focus on support for each other and reflect on their memories of you without the burden of making major decisions in a difficult emotional state. It also protects them from leaving out details that they may later regret not considering.
You can express your own wishes. Your loved ones may have a difficult time determining what your wishes may have been. By planning your own service in advance, you can eliminate the guesswork involved, express your own wishes, and possibly discover new options regarding your preferences.
Relieve a financial burden from your loved ones. If you choose to select a pre-funding option, your funeral planning will be complete long before the need arises. You can make your decisions without the emotional weight a family member may be under at the time of your passing. Pre-funding also protects your family from spending more than may be appropriate.
At Mueller-Bies Funeral Home, we offer price guaranteed pre-funding. If you choose Mueller-Bies for your funeral needs, you will meet with a licensed funeral director that will assist you in planning your funeral and determine the cost of services. If you decide to pre-fund your funeral, the services and merchandise selected and paid for will be price guaranteed regardless of the amount of time that elapses between your planning and the time of need. Our price guaranteed pre-funding protects you and your loved ones from inflationary costs, and assures you that there will be no additional expenses to your family for the services you have selected. Even if you do not choose to pre-fund, your choice of services will be recorded with us to ease your family’s burden in the event of your death.
Prearrangement is a compassionate way to help your family after you’re gone and can be an intelligent financial decision as well. Knowing that your family will not have to choose in grief or wonder where the money will come from to pay for your funeral offers great peace of mind.
