Along with taking full control of your funeral expenses, another benefit of planning your funeral ahead is that it will provide you an opportunity to reimburse long-distance friends and family for their travel expenses to attend your funeral. This allows them to fully stay focused on celebrating your life.
Perhaps you may have a specific preference for the disposition of your remains and want to clearly express them. Funeral planning allows you to leave specific instructions to fulfill your final wishes. Your final wishes may also include detailed instructions on the type of music that will be played during your funeral, the epitaph that will be engraved on your headstone, and others.
Whether you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or beyond, and regardless of your health status, funeral planning at any age offers several benefits, as mentioned above.
