Pre-paying your funeral can help provide your family with a sense of security and instil confidence in knowing that your needs will be met as per your wishes.  In a Pre-Paid Funeral the family, or individual, in conjunction with the Funeral Director establish the funeral requirements and services that they wish to contract and pay for now, for provision at a future date. When planning a pre-paid funeral decisions need to be made on the type of service and its location along with the content, music, readings, whether there will be a burial or a cremation, the choice of a coffin or a casket, the selection of funeral notices and deciding upon floral tributes. It is basically the same process as an actual funeral arrangement. The benefit of a prepaid funeral are several. Primarily however, it is the knowledge that you are being protected against inflation together with the peace of mind in knowing that your funeral will be conducted in accordance with your wishes.
