FUNERAL PLANNING

Preplanning your own funeral

Funeral planning does not strike enthusiasm and joy in most people, but planning your funeral prior to your death can help your family with tough decisions when your time comes to pass over.

By doing your own funeral planning, you will have time to shop around to find funeral service providers that you like and also one that will give you a good pricing on their products. You will also be able to decide on the exact details of your ceremony (with the added benefit of questioning the experts) without burdening your family members with hard choices and trying to do the right thing by you in your memory.

There are a few key elements that come with planning your funeral, including the ceremony itself; final body disposition (burial, cremation or mausoleum); and a will. Make a checklist so that you don't miss any of the important details.

The first thing to decide for your ceremony is whether you want it to be a traditional service, or would you like to do something customized to your own tastes. It could be a straight forward service with your church minister or funeral director conducting the ceremony. Alternatively you could have your partner or best friend running the service and have your favorite songs playing throughout. You will also be able to choose things like the types of flowers you want as well as any readings done.

You will also have to decide on the final body disposition – whether it be burial, cremation or mausoleum (crypt above ground). Should you choose burial, think of the cemetery you would like; or if it is cremation, consider where (or even if) the ashes should be spread or if they should be buried.

Having a will is essential so that you have final say over who you bequest your assets and property when you pass away. It is important to have the will drawn up by your lawyer so that everything is straight forward for your next of kin. A will alleviates any potential family squabbles, and you can also make sure that your treasured items are passed onto people as you see fit. You will also need to allocate an executor who will administer the will.

The best thing about funeral planning is that you can designate exactly what you want for your funeral without leaving the stressful process to your grieving family after you have passed.
