Pre-Planning … not something to be avoided.
Planning for things we’d sooner avoid, is never a job anyone finds time to undertake. I personally do not like to file papers. Of course, I am awash in papers, and they don’t file themselves. So typically, I will let them pile up until I “dig in” and then I swear I’ll never do that again, again.
Is there anything we’d like to avoid more than death? I don’t think so. And so the idea of planning for one’s funeral, whereas intellectually we may think it a good idea, … we just have a hard time “finding the time”.
This is why I offer a simple way to do this. It can be done on paper, or on the internet (where it is filed for reference by any funeral home). And its a free service … well “free” except for your time.
Why is this such a good idea to do this?
- It frees ones family from making difficult decisions at a time of grief. And therefore, it generally saves money.
- It uncovers “funding vehicles”. Either cash that is set aside, or life insurance. And where such is not available, it allows a person to plan … often at a very low cost … to fund this event and not create economic hardship at the same time as emotional distress.
- And it will give you a sense of relief, once done, that is priceless.
Give me a call or email me and I will explain how simple it really is.
