There are two types of people in this world: people who make final service plans for themselves and people who don’t. Do you have Lake Helen, FL cremation services planned for yourself? Here’s a comparison of those two types of people to show you the advantages of having such services planned out in advance:
The Costs
Those who plan cremation services in advance have a great cost advantage over those who wait and let their family plans things when they pass on. When you plan your own cremation, you have the option of paying in advance as well. The costs are today’s prices and no matter when you use the services in the future, there are no more charges. You can save a significant amount of money by planning ahead. Plus, you relieve your family of those costs and planning burdens. If you don’t plan ahead, the cost can be higher in the future and your family is responsible for it.
Your Wants
Planning your own cremation is a nice final gift for your family. They know just what you would have wanted, plus they don’t have the stress of planning anything themselves. They just call the funeral home that holds your plans and things start in motion from there. They can sit back, gather together, mourn, and support one another. If you don’t make plans, however, your family may have no idea what you would have wanted. It can be overwhelming for them to make plans when they don’t really know what you wanted. Once they make a few choices, they have to go through all the details and add that to-do list to their already high emotions and everything else going on in their life.
Peace Of Mind
You probably sleep fine at night, not really thinking about your death in the future, whenever it may occur. But if you worry about your family, planning your own final services in advance can help you have peace of mind that everything is in place. You know you will get what you want. You know your family won’t have the burden of making plans. And you know the costs are covered. That’s a great way to give you an extra sense of peace in your days. If you don’t plan, on the other hand, you might not really think that far ahead. But if you do, remember that your family may have extra stress and burdens when you pass and you may not get what you really want for final services since they will have to guess.
