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 familys
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.
