Why Pre-Plan a Funeral?

Many people agonize over the burden their eventual death will place on family or friends. Most individuals who pre-plan do so to simply to ease their survivor's pain, frustration or confusion. Pre-arranging a funeral allows a person to feel confident that his or her preferences for a funeral are carefully organized in a rational, financially practical manner.

Who Pre-Plans Funerals?

Most people who pre-plan their funeral have, at some point been responsible for the funeral arrangements of a relative or friend. That experience makes people realize how important it is to consider the details of their own funeral, or that of a family member. Even those who are younger, single, married or parents recognize that pre-planning is a logical step toward the complete organization of their own personal and family affairs. Those who pre-plan may not have a survivor capable of, or willing, to make funeral arrangements at the time of need. Others have definite preferences for each detail of their own funeral and use pre-planning to express their wishes.

Are There Other Advantages to Pre-Planning?

One of the major advantages is cost. As a funeral is pre-planned, the expense for each arrangement is carefully discussed and agreed upon. Once all the arrangements are complete the total cost is guaranteed, in writing, against any future inflationary increases, no matter how many years pass by. Those who pre-plan can also pre-finance the funeral through convenient payments. All funds placed with Siimplicity's prefund program are transferable at the written request of the contract holder or designee.
