WHEN IS THE BEST
TIME TO PREPLAN YOUR FUNERAL? The best time to begin making your
prearrangements is now, while you're thinking about it. While some people in
their 40's and 50's may think it's too early to preplan, people who do say that
prearranging their funerals is smart financial planning and gives them added
peace of mind knowing they aren't leaving this burden to family members. By
taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to
your own funeral arrangements, you'll be protecting your family against the
stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress.
This way you can carefully choose specific items you want and need ... and pay
for them now. Prepaid Investments through funeral homes allows families to fund
their funerals in advance through different investment vehicles.
