"Why Should I Plan Ahead?"

Planning ahead is one thing no one really wants to do, but as the old saying goes: "There is only two sure things in this world that are certain, and that is Death and Taxes."


Planning ahead is like a person buying a life insurance policy. A person does this because if something happens to a loved one they will have something to fall back on to get their lives back in order. Planning ahead is no different then the above mentioned life insurance; it allows your family to not worry about the arrangements of a funeral. Most families that I have written pre-arrangements for have always stated that they feel so much better because my kids (or family) do not have to worry about my funeral or perhaps the family members live a long ways away. This is so much a caring attitude for parents or any person to think this way.
