Sharing Your End-of-Life Plans

Word to the Wise Newsletter

DO YOUR LOVED ONES KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?
Creating a funeral plan can be rewarding since it lets you slow down and reflect on what’s important to you regarding end-of-life arrangements. Once your plan is in place, you know that your family won’t be burdened with trying to guess what you want when the time comes.
One vital part of funeral planning that is sometimes forgotten (or avoided) is ensuring your loved ones know what you want. The trouble is, it’s not always easy to start the conversation.
Our article “Talking About Your Funeral Plan” has tips for getting started and how to ensure the process goes smoothly. While the article focuses on sharing your information with others, most tips also apply when discussing the subject to discuss their plans and how they want their arrangements taken care of.
We always recommend that your funeral plans be recorded online or in hard copy. If you are thinking about what you want for your funeral but haven’t yet written it down, we suggest you take advantage of our Wise Planning System.
