What is “pre-need” planning?
NYSAC is a strong proponent to planning ahead. You can buy burial property and funeral services before there is a need. In many cases, you can also pre-arrange to purchase burial vaults, head stones or markers, and things like urns well before they are needed. It gives you peace of mind, and takes a huge burden off your survivors during a most difficult time.
Pre-Need planning (prearrangement) is planning a funeral before the time of death. It is an important part of your estate and retirement planning. Without this prearrangement, the details of the funeral are left to a group of family members who may have little warning or time to plan this major life event. Pre-Need planning relieves your family of that responsibility. You are able to leave detailed instructions about your desires and wishes. Prearrangement gives peace of mind to both you and your family.
