KEY CONSIDERATIONS
PREPLANNING & PREPAYMENT OPTIONS -
Making arrangements in advance
allows you to specify your preferences while potentially reducing costs and
protecting against inflation.
BURIAL VS. CREMATION -
Understanding the differences in cost, tradition, and
personal preferences can help you make an informed choice.
PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE -
If you take regular medications, review each plan's formulary (list of covered drugs) to confirm that your prescriptions are covered at an affordable cost.
MEMORIAL & SERVICE PLANNING -
Deciding on service types, locations, and
personal touches ensures your wishes are honored while easing the planning
burden on your family.
LEGAL & FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS -
Ensuring documentation, such as wills,
beneficiary designations, and payment plans, are in place prevents complications
for your loved ones.
ONGOING LEGACY CONSIDERATIONS -
Your preferences may change over time, so reviewing your plans periodically ensures
they still align with your wishes. Keeping loved ones informed and storing documents in
a secure, accessible place can simplify the process when the time comes.
