Making final arrangements for a loved one is never easy. It is especially difficult when the decisions must be made at the time when family members are already emotionally upset. Pre-planning in Bel Air reduces anxiety at the time of loss and allows family and friends to go through the grieving process, knowing that the final arrangements will be carried out according to the wishes of the one who has passed on.
Pre-planning Reduces Anxiety
When a death occurs, it can be extremely stressful for family and friends while they are mourning. When one cannot think clearly making decisions can be difficult, especially those that involve the final arrangements for a loved one. If the deceased did not take advantage of Pre-planning in Bel Air, or specify any personal wishes beforehand, all of the decisions must be made by distraught family members, including choices regarding a traditional burial or cremation, what type of funeral to have, the type of casket or urn to use, special music for the service and all other necessary details.
Let the Funeral Home Carry Out the Final Wishes
Pre-planning takes the burden off of the family and gives the deceased a say in how the final arrangements will be carried out. Evans Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services has been helping families deal with the death of loved ones since 1865 and understands what’s required for putting together a memorial service. When pre-planning has been arranged, the licensed funeral directors are able to implement the decisions of the deceased, while the family goes about coping with the loss.
Lock In the Cost
Another advantage of opting for pre-planning is that the cost will be locked in place and will not increase at the time of service unless the family makes additional changes that were not included in the original contract. Once the final preparations have been decided upon, and the papers have been signed, the cost will stay at today’s funeral rates and will not increase, even if the rates go up over time. Dealing with the loss of a loved one should be about remembering and honoring life. Pre-planning allows that to happen while giving the deceased a say in how it is carried out.
