You can\u00a0buy funeral cover<\/a>\u00a0before this time comes if you don\u2019t wish to burden your next of kin with having to make these arrangements whilst grieving your loss. Even if you express whether you wish to be buried or cremated in your Health Care Directive, it is always a good idea to prearrange and prepay your disposition. Prearrangement not only takes the financial burden off of your family at the time of your death, but it also relieves the anxiety that your family may feel trying to plan the type of disposition they think you would have wanted.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that you can prearrange your disposition without making any kind of prepayment. However, do consider that prices increase overtime, and funeral homes may change ownership or go out of business. It is a good idea to review your arrangements every few years and to ensure that you have a good understanding of what the current costs are and have current contact information for the business that will handle your arrangements.<\/p>\n If you can afford to do so, prepayment can be an excellent option since it alleviates the burden of the cost at your death. There are many options for prearrangement, and you should discuss them with a qualified professional in the industry. Options include:<\/p>\n Keep in mind that even if you make prearrangements, it is important that you also appoint an agent through your health directive to ensure that your wishes are carried out. If you have questions about appointing an agent to manage the disposition of your remains, please contact the Law Offices of Lisa Bryant, INC. at (408) 419-1361.
