Finding Peace of Mind:
Pre-Planning Your Funeral
Thinking about your own funeral can feel uncomfortable, but many adults are realizing that pre-planning a funeral offers significant emotional and financial peace of mind for themselves and their families. Pre-arranging ensures that your wishes are known and can be honored, sparing your loved ones from making difficult decisions during an already stressful time.
If you are considering prearranging a funeral, we encourage you to contact Arlington Memorial Chapels. Our experienced care directors will guide you through the process and help you plan every detail of your service. The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) developed the Bill of Rights for Funeral Pre-planning, which is a great resource for understanding what to expect from a pre-need contract.
Once your pre-arrangements are made, keep a copy of the plan and any important documents in a secure place. Be sure to inform a close friend or family member of the details and where the information can be accessed when needed.
While prepayment for your funeral is not required, it can offer financial security and is an option many individuals find helpful. If you decide prepaying is right for you, be sure to discuss all available options with your care director. Always ask any questions you may have before signing any agreement to ensure you’re fully informed.
At Arlington Memorial Chapels, we’re here to help you plan ahead with care and professionalism, so you and your loved ones can find peace of mind in knowing everything is taken care of.
