Yes. Referred to as “preplanning” or “prearranging”, many people find that preplanning gives them peace of mind knowing that their wishes will be respected and the burden lessened on their family at the time of their death. Others find that they need to shelter their assets and assure that their funeral expenses will be taken care of. Preplanning your funeral consists of meeting with the funeral home, to allow them to gather biographical information for a death certificate as well as any information you would like included in obituary notices. At this time, you can also choose the type of service desired, the type of casket, concrete outer burial container or cremation urn. The interest that accumulates on your funds is then used to offset inflation. Here at Daniel Funeral Home, we work with insurance companies and trusts to help prefund the funeral.
