Why should you be pre-planning a cremation services?

Posted by Joe Manno | March 28, 2022

What is a pre-paid Funeral?

Pre-planning a cremation service is arranging a funeral with a funeral home and paying it off ahead of time.

You can decide on almost all the arrangements for the funeral, so everything is taken care of when the time comes, and your family goes through minimum stress.

What are the benefits of pre-planning cremation services?

Pre-planned and prepaid funerals have many advantages over having to plan everything when the time comes. Here are a few advantages of pre-planning a cremation service.

You can protect your family emotionally and financially

Planning a funeral after the death of a loved one is both emotionally and financially stressful. After the death of a loved one, many families go through the struggle of finding the right kind of service and worry if they’re fulfilling the loved one’s wishes to have a specific type of funeral. Pre-planning the cremation saves your family from all the trouble and lessens their stress about the funeral.

Funeral services can be expensive. Prepaid funerals ensure that your family is protected financially as everything is already taken care of and they don’t have to pay for it.

You get flexibility when planning the cremation service

When pre-planning a cremation service, you get the same options to customise the service as you wish. You can let the funeral home know about your specific needs and requirements at the time and everything will be taken care of.

You pay today’s prices

The cost of cremation increases every year. Pre-planning helps save money as you pay today’s prices for the service.

You don’t have to worry about any increase in the future prices for the same service and your family won’t be required to pay any extra charges.

You can pay in instalments

It is not necessary to pay the lump sum when you opt for a prepaid funeral.

There are some prepaid plans that you can choose from and pay for the service in weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly instalments over a fixed period of time.

It is better than going for a funeral insurance

Funeral insurance can actually end up costing you a lot more than what is required at the time of the funeral.

And it still causes the stress of deciding and planning the funeral by your family.

Pre-planning cremation services with Blessed Funerals

Pre-planning a cremation can help ease the burden on your family when the time comes.

And at Blessed Funerals, we help you with whatever you need.
After a loved one’s death, the most stressful and overwhelming task is arranging the funeral. Many families realise that they haven’t had “the talk” with the deceased person about the kind of funeral service they would want. And thus begins the struggle of getting everything right, often leading to paying for extra or unnecessary services.

Pre-planning a cremation service helps your family find comfort in their time of need. Not only will they know the type of funeral you want but also that all the services are being planned per your wish. And they don’t have to spend anything.

When you pre-plan a cremation service with Blessed Funerals, your funds are held independently in a trust fund (Funeral Plan Management) and invested in a capital guaranteed investment vehicle.

You can pay a lump sum amount for the service or have the option of interest free instalment plans and pay weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly.

We know that planning for a funeral ahead of its time is a difficult process. And we try to make it as comfortable as we can for you.

We understand your requirements and suggest the best options to ensure all your specific needs are taken care of.
