Benefits of Planning Your Own Funeral

We don’t like to talk about death even if death is the only sure thing that we have in the future. We never know when death might come for us. Wouldn’t you rather prepare for it now when you still can rather than leave your loved ones completely unprepared for your death?

One of the benefits of funeral planning is that you can make stipulations on how you want your funeral to be. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can request that your loved ones prepare a simple and low-cost burial for you. If you don’t want to take up space after your death, which many people tend to prefer, you can request to have your remains cremated.

It also allows you to choose a funeral home in Penticton to help your loved ones prepare for your funeral. In the event of your death, you don’t want your loved ones to have a hard time choosing a funeral home in Penticton. When you already have these stipulations, they know what to do and this takes away the stress of funeral planning.

And because you can choose your funeral home in Penticton, you can also plan for the costs. Dying is expensive but there are also many things that you can do to reduce the costs.

So now that we have established the benefits of funeral planning, how should you get started in it?

First, decide what you want to do for your funeral. Would you want your loved ones to perform a funeral service or do you prefer a direct burial and then have a memorial service later? It’s good to consult your loved ones as well.

You can decide whether to take the traditional route, which means you will have to purchase a casket, or to go for a cremation, which means you will only need to purchase an urn. It can be less costly for your loved ones when you opt for cremation. You can opt not to have the ashes buried but scattered in a special location instead.

Once you have decided what to do with your remains when you leave this earth, the next thing to do is to choose a funeral home in Penticton. Do your research to find reputable funeral homes such as Everden Rust that offer affordable packages. Find out how you will be able to fund your funeral. It can be included in your life insurance or you can buy a separate funeral package from funeral homes and pay for it in advance.

Make stipulations about your funeral in your will as well. When doing will and estate planning, you should include what should be done with your body when you die.
