Funeral Pre-Planning
Arranging a funeral or memorial service for a loved one can be a challenging task during an already difficult time. In addition to managing feelings of grief and loss, there are many important decisions that must be made within a relatively short period of time. Family and friends want to honor the wishes of their loved one, but often do not know the best way to do things.
Preplanning your funeral or memorial service is something important that you can do for family and friends. There can be comfort for family and friends in knowing that the services reflect your wishes. Preplanning can lessen the stress on loved ones who would otherwise have to make difficult decisions at a time when they may not be best prepared to do so.
Although most people are not comfortable focusing on what will happen at the end of life, preplanning your funeral or memorial service can be as important as preparing for any other important event in life.
Let our Baskerville Advance Planners help you get prepared.
