Preplanning For Family

Contrary to popular belief, preplanning isn’t just for you. It’s also for your family. There are over 100+ things that need to be done after someone dies. Without a proper plan, all of these decisions are passed on to loved ones who may not know what was desired. When done right, preplanning can bring a family closer together through the conversations that are had during the process.

It Won’t Kill You to Talk About Death
We understand that death makes most people uncomfortable. And it’s not exactly a topic you typically hear around the dinner table. But it’s the one event (besides birth) that we are all guaranteed (link to funeral planning for those who don’t plan to die). So why don’t more people have this important conversation? For some perspective, consider the way we talk about ‘the bird and the bees’. Exactly, we don’t even call it by its name and many people never actually have that conversation. It’s a hard conversation to have! Now replace sex with something far more ominous, death, and you’ve really got a doozy of a conversation! Talking about what you want after death, won’t make it happen. And while this seems silly to say, so many put aside making these vital plans and having this important conversation because it makes them uncomfortable. But, as you know, especially when family is involved, honesty and communication is the best policy! .

It Prevents Further Stress and Emotional Strain
Without a preplan, important decisions are passed on to family members. There are over 120 things to do after someone has passed on, would your family members or friends know what you would’ve wanted? An additional benefit to preplanning is that you start paying off the cost before it’s ever needed. So not only do family members not have to make these difficult decisions when they’re in mourning, but they also don’t have to worry about how they’re going to pay for it!

Be a Parent One Last Time
Preplanning gives you the option to be a parent one last time. It’s not admitting defeat and it definitely doesn’t have to mean that you’re ready, but it means you will be. And your family won’t be left scrambling to make big decisions during an emotional crisis. When you create a preplan, you’re taking responsibility and preventing it from being passed on.

Preneed planning allows you and your loved ones to have a gift of peace through a difficult time. Not only does it give you the opportunity to have this difficult conversation with your loved ones, but it ensures that the stress and strain (or cost) won’t move onto them.
