How does pre-planning help?
A. You decide what you want, how to get it, and what it will cost with minimal funeral home contact, if you prefer. Furthermore, your family knows your desires and isn’t required to make difficult and sometimes contentious decisions during this stressful time. Simplicity should not be mistaken for miserliness or lack of respect. If you can accept the reality of death and can discuss it frankly, you and your family will be better able to cope with its inevitability.
