Pre-Planning Options
Taking the time to arrange your funeral now leaves one less thing your family will need to worry about. We are here to help you every step of the way.
While people spend months planning events like weddings and trips, few think about the one event that is certain to happen: their funeral. While most people do not want to think about their own mortality, the time to pre-plan your funeral is now. The primary advantage of pre-arranging your funeral is to relieve the burden on your family at an emotional time, and to ensure your funeral is carried out according to your wishes, eliminating the task of second-guessing what you would have wanted. Pre-planning and/or pre-paying your funeral is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give to your family.
Pre-Payment Options
Pre-paying for your funeral reduces stress and financial burden on your family after your passing. We can co-ordinate a payment plan that suits your needs. Options include a single payment plan, to monthly bank account withdrawals. By pre-paying your funeral, you ease the financial impact on your family. Pre-payment also protects you and your family from inflation and the growth is non-taxable. In Ontario if your funeral costs less than the amount you have put aside, those funds will be refunded back to your beneficiaries. Each year thousands of people decide to pre-plan and pre-pay for their funeral. These plans are designed to be flexible and to accommodate the many changes that often occur in people’s lives.
What you can do in advance…
- Decide on Burial or Cremation and your casket or urn type.
- Pick what type of service you want (religious, military, non-traditional)
- Choose music readings or verses you want at your service or celebration of life.
Benefits of Pre-Planning
- Many decisions must be made within the first couple of days from the date of death. It’s difficult to think rationally while making so many decisions within days of losing someone. Pre-planning gives yourself, family, and friends a template in making many of these decisions.
- It’s easy. Anyone can do it, and you can change them at any time.
