What do you do if your family has a hard time talking about death? Advanced funeral plans can make that difficult conversation easier. By planning, you can help your loved ones, set up your funeral how you want, and save money in the long run.
Reduce Stress
Death is an emotionally harrowing time for families. Imagine loved ones having to answer questions about the flowers, the coffin, the service, and more. That’s stressful, especially when they’re still trying to accept the loss. Pre-planning your service at a funeral home in Antioch means your family will only need to come in, see the plans, and approve of them to start things in motion.
Saves You Money
Prices will only keep rising. Pre-planning your service at a funeral home in Antioch allows you to lock in affordable prices and options. Paying for a service now can mean saving a lot of money for a funeral in five or ten years.
As Your Loved Ones
Make your family a part of the process. At the same time, pre-planning also shows them what you like and what you want to happen, and they’ll remember those details later. This is also an opportunity for you to talk about death and create a positive memory of the experience. When the time comes, they can look back on how you all worked together in choosing the song, the themes, and every other detail. That can be a comforting memory for them in the future.
Let Them Grieve
Your family will feel lost and in pain, no matter how prepared they are. Pre-planning, though, eliminates most of the work that goes into holding a funeral service, so you can give them time to grieve and deal with the loss.
