Importance of Preplanning
Do you really feel good about last minute decisions concerning important matters?
Important decisions about your funeral service and final memorial should not be made at the last minute at the hospital or during a hurried up trip to the funeral home. There is a way to avoid this. You should discuss the details concerning such matters with your family and the assistance of one of our pre-need counselors. Our representative can answer your questions and give you all the facts about pre-arrangement. They can guide you and your loved ones easily and comfortably through the process.
Do you really feel comfortable with decisions that are made under severe stress?
Your family will be under the most intense and difficult emotional stress of their lives when they face the reality of your death. Yet there are better than fifty important decisions and details that must be handled during this already trying time, decisions like: the type of casket, the kind of flowers, who the pallbearers will be, how much money should be spent, and more. By not pre-arranging, you run the risk of having your loved ones either feel guilty or unwise for cutting corners to save money or for spending too much on a lavish service. The way to avoid this is to make your wishes known so that they are not burdened with these decisions during this very stressful time.
Do you really feel right about decisions concerning your private matters being made by others?
You may or may not have close family survive you at your death to make the decisions regarding your funeral. Even if you do, is it fair to burden them in this way? Over the years, you have made many decisions, such as wedding plans, home buying, vacations, children, education and more. There is no real reason to leave decisions regarding your funeral arrangements to others. You can help them and yourself by making your wishes known now and providing for the services today, before it becomes a burden on your loved ones.
We at Curry Funeral Homes can assist you in making informed choices and by recording your decisions, instructions and preferences in our Thoughtful Decisions Guide for confidential filing at the funeral home. Make the sensible, practical and considerate decision to talk to a funeral pre-arrangement counselor.
