Pre-planning
your funeral can and does make sense. It gives you the
opportunity to discuss, select and, if you wish, to purchase
a funeral service for yourself or a loved one. Dougherty
Funeral Homes have been helping families pre-plan funerals,
cremations or burials for years.
Why should
I pre-plan?
Planning ahead
prevents emotional overspending and protects your family's
financial interests. Benefits of pre-planning:
-
Peace of Mind - When
a death occurs in any family or among friends, the
grief is tremendous and the healing time very long.
Prearrangement will have a positive impact on your
family and friends simply because you have made your
own decision. This peace of mind provides benefits
far beyond the dollars spent.
-
Satisfaction - On a
prearrangement basis, a family burial estate and/or
funeral merchandise can be selected by all family
members, thus guaranteeing everyone's satisfaction.
-
Price-Freezing - Based
on the last five decades, we know the cost of cemetery
and funeral arrangements will continue to increase.
Prearrangement allows the costs to be frozen at today's
prices.
-
Conserves Insurance
- Life insurance is for the living, not the deceased.
Most life insurance is purchased to allow a family
time to adjust to the loss of income that a death
causes. If prearrangements are not made, a large amount
of insurance proceeds can be spent on cemetery and
funeral items adding financial burdens to loved ones
left behind.
-
Payments - Funeral and
memorialization costs are expenses every individual
must plan to pay. These needs can be met today out
of current income through budget payments. Payment
at the time of death is traditionally made on a cash
basis.
-
Togetherness - A husband
and wife can share their choices and decide together,
therefore saving loved ones heartache, expense and
inconvenience at the time of death.
