Pre-planning your funeral can and does make sense. It gives you the
opportunity to discuss, select and, if you wish, to purchase a funeral
service for yourself or a loved one. Dougherty Funeral Homes have been
helping families pre-plan funerals, cremations or burials for years.
Why should I
pre-plan?
Planning
ahead prevents emotional overspending and protects your family’s
financial interests. Benefits of pre-planning:
-
Peace of Mind - When
a death occurs in any family or among friends, the grief is tremendous
and the healing time very long. Prearrangement will have a positive
impact on your family and friends simply because you have made your
own decision. This peace of mind provides benefits far beyond the
dollars spent.
-
Satisfaction - On a prearrangement
basis, a family burial estate and/or funeral merchandise can be
selected by all family members, thus guaranteeing everyone's satisfaction.
-
Price-Freezing - Based
on the last five decades, we know the cost of cemetery and funeral
arrangements will continue to increase. Prearrangement allows the
costs to be frozen at today's prices.
-
Conserves Insurance -
Life insurance is for the living, not the deceased. Most life insurance
is purchased to allow a family time to adjust to the loss of income
that a death causes. If prearrangements are not made, a large amount
of insurance proceeds can be spent on cemetery and funeral items
adding financial burdens to loved ones left behind.
-
Payments - Funeral and
memorialization costs are expenses every individual must plan to
pay. These needs can be met today out of current income through
budget payments. Payment at the time of death is traditionally made
on a cash basis.
-
Togetherness - A
husband and wife can share their choices and decide together, therefore
saving loved ones heartache, expense and inconvenience at the time
of death.
