Like most things in life, death is also something that we should plan for.
There is also the economic consideration. Pre-planning now ensures that you or your family are not subject to price increases in the future and is a sensible financial decision around a difficult topic.
When pre-planning, many people only think of the well known parts of a funeral; hearse, cars and flowers. There is so much more that needs to be considered, such as the location of the service, how to commemorate through a memorial plaque or even a desired burial location.
Some families choose to be buried with other family members that have passed, re-unifying them. Some families consider where and how they would like future generations to visit and remember.
Giving some prior thought to these arrangements can provide a sense of peace and security.
