Planning ahead removes a burden from your family at a time of loss.

Most people agree that planning ahead for your final wishes is a good idea. A written plan protects your family by relieving the burden that falls on loved ones during a time of loss.


Without a plan in place, family members are left with dozens of decisions to make while in the midst of grief. The problem is, many people hesitate to actually create their own plan.

Benefits of Preplanning

Makes Your Wishes Known

The death of a loved one often brings about unwarranted stress and turmoil among families. One family member wants one thing, while another family member wants something different. By planning ahead, you help prevent those disagreements by letting your family know what your wishes are and how you want your cremation service to be carried out and your business handled.

Provides Peace of Mind

Preplanning a cremation also provides peace of mind - to you, as well as your family and friends. Knowing that your wishes are understood and that your cremation will be arranged according to your specifications can provide comfort and security during a difficult time. For your family, it can also reduce the stress and anxiety they may feel when making cremation arrangements.

Includes Flexible Funding Options

Preplanning your direct cremation also offers flexible funding options. You can choose to pay for your cremation in advance or set up a payment plan to spread the cost out over time. By taking care of the cost ahead of time, you can alleviate some of the financial burden that may fall on your loved ones when arranging a cremation.

Relieves the Burden on Family

As you can see, cremation preplanning can have a profound effect on your family. By taking the time to plan ahead, you can ensure that your cremation will be arranged according to your wishes and that your family does not have to make hard decisions during an emotionally difficult time.
