No one likes to think about death, let alone plan for it.
Yet, when you pre-plan your funeral you simplify your life and you give your family peace of mind. When you plan in advance, you take care of everything today the way you want it.
More importantly, you spare your loved ones the burden of having to make difficult decisions at an emotional, stressful and grieving time.
Show your family how much you care. Record your wishes now. Minimize the numerous details that need to be attended to by family when you are gone.
Planning a funeral in advance is an essential element of estate planning and a financially sound decision. It freezes funeral services costs and creates a plan with convenient payment options.

Why is having the talk of a lifetime important?
Although we might have daily conversations with our loved ones, the most meaningful and deep ones don’t always happen. Having this kind of conversation can make a huge difference — it can help us see our loved ones in a different and more positive light, it can teach us valuable lessons, it can give us a clearer picture of the things they love, it can bring us closer together, and it can help us reaffirm to them how much we love them.
Who should have the talk?
We could have the talk of a lifetime with anyone we value, cherish, and love. It could be our grandparents, our parents, our siblings, our uncles and aunts, our cousins, our spouse, our children, our grandparents, or our friends. It also doesn’t have to be done only when we feel we are or someone we love is at the end of their life. We’ll never really know what the future holds, so let us take the opportunities we still have with them while we still can.
How do we start the talk?
We shouldn’t really wait for a special moment to start having these kinds of talks. We can do it anytime and anywhere, when we and our loved ones are comfortable — at home while we’re having meals together, out for a walk, gathered as a family, or playing games.
We could also sometimes start with visual prompts, like a photo or an entire photo album, a memento, or a souvenir. We can open up about past experiences while we’re at memorable place, such as a church, a favorite restaurant, or an old park. These can be great ways to start a story.
