Every momentous event in one’s life requires planning. Weddings, birthdays, graduations, births, and yes, even deaths entail a bit of preparation. As the saying goes, large life events are just as much about you as it those you share it with. Well, that might not actually be a saying as much as a life lesson we all learn when we have to wear grandma’s hand-knitted Christmas sweater when she comes over. Like taxes, these gems of life still hold true when you are no longer around to enjoy them. Planning events can potentially be overwhelming and time consuming, but there are pre-planning benefits. The compassionate staff at EF Boyd & Son Inc offers a funeral planning guide and assistance with funeral pre-funding options for those in East Cleveland, Ohio; Cleveland Heights, Ohio; and University Heights, Ohio.

There are pre-planning benefits. When it comes to funeral planning, there are two types of planning. The first type of planning being, “at-need” and the second being “pre-need”.  “At-need” funeral arrangements are made at the time of death. They are usually made by surviving family members or by a trusted friend who has accepted this responsibility. While, “pre-need” arrangements are the funeral plans that people make for themselves while living. Their primary objectives in planning ahead are to relieve their survivors of this burden and to ensure that the funeral is carried out according to their wishes. Pre-planning your funeral ensures that you have a say in how you are remembered. If you have certain beliefs, customs, or desires for how your loved ones should say goodbye, having a hand in your funeral can help guarantee that. Most “at-need” arrangements are done by friends and family members grieving and pressed for time. By being involved in your own funeral arrangements, you can take your time and work with your loved ones to find what service would best represent you both. Neither you nor your loved ones should feel rushed in choosing how to remember you.
