When is the best time to pre-plan your funeral?

The best time to begin making your pre-arrangements is now, while you’re thinking about it.

While some people in their 40s and 50s may think it’s too early to pre-plan, it actually makes good financial sense and removes the chance of leaving this difficult task to family members. By taking the time now to research cost information and calmly make choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your loved ones from the burden of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress. Prepaid programs through funeral homes allow individuals to fund their funerals in advance through different investment vehicles. Nicholas F Cognetta Funeral Home offers these pre-arranged funeral services to Darien, Stamford, CT and the surrounding areas.

Six common reasons for pre-arranging funerals:

1. Lets your wishes be known
2. Reduces stress for friends and family at an already emotional time
3. Saves money
4. Guarantees your family will never have to pay more for your funeral, regardless of inflation
5. Shows you care
6. Relieves your loved ones of the financial responsibility
