There is tremendous peace of mind given to your family when they have no doubts about your final wishes and the cost is already taken care of. This reduction of stress, allows your family to be more present and together at this difficult time.

Decisions that would burden your family later are handled now. You may have specific wishes as to how you want to be memorialized. Advance planning will allow you to let your wishes be known for the type of funeral or cremation arrangement you want and will lift the burden of those difficult decisions from your family.
