Have You Preplanned? Your Loved Ones Will Benefit if You Do!

Schrader-Howell Funeral Home • July 6, 2021

If you haven’t preplanned your body disposition with a funeral home serving Plymouth, MI residents, then it makes sense to consider doing so. Many fail to preplan. This means their loved ones will have to plan for them after their passing. 

 

It makes more sense for you to preplan your cremation service or funeral service so that you can get your affairs in order and gain peace of mind. Your family will benefit as well. Read on to see some of the specific ways your loved ones will benefit if you arrange your own final service. 

 

They Will be Able to Grieve 

You can imagine that your family will go through a lot after learning of your death. Shock will set in, and it will be difficult for them to come to terms with what has occurred. It will be difficult for them to focus on planning your final service at a time when they’re grieving their loss. But if you preplan a funeral service or cremation service, they won’t have to take on any planning duties. Considering that they’ll be dealing with a roller coaster of emotions, they’ll be grateful that you had preplanned. And your doing so now is easier than their doing so later. 

 

They Won’t Bicker Over What to Plan 

Another reason why it makes sense to preplan your final service is that doing so will mean your family members won’t bicker over what final services package to select. When emotions are high, there is the potential for people to act out in emotional ways. You can help to keep the peace in your family by removing a possible point of contention. When you preplan with the help of the funeral director at a funeral home, you will have the final say over the final service type. 

 

They Will Know You’re Getting the Final Service You Want 

Yet another way that those you love most will benefit from your preplanning is that they won’t have the burden of having to choose what you would have wanted. Looking through a general price list from a funeral home will reveal lots of final services options. It might be hard for your family to choose what they believe is the right one…the one you would have selected. So when you preplan, they will know without a doubt that you’re getting your desired final service package. 

They Won’t Experience Financial Hardship 

When you preplan, you can also prepay. This will mean, of course, that your family won’t have to come up with a way to pay for your cremation service or funeral service. This will make things easier for your loved ones at a time when they definitely won’t need any added stress.
