When it comes to end-of-life arrangements, one of the most important actions a family can take is to consult with a cemetery professional. The decisions made today can significantly impact on the emotional and financial well-being of your loved ones during an already difficult time.
Here are key points to consider:
1. Cemetery Expenses Are Separate:
It’s crucial to understand that standard estate planning documents such as last Will and Testament, trust, durable power of attorney, medical power of attorney and Living Wills do not cover cemetery expenses. Relying on these documents can leave families unprepared to deal with the additional costs related to burial plots, markers, and other cemetery services.
2. Insurance Limitations:
Many believe that life insurance will cover all funeral and cemetery costs, but this is not the case. Typically, insurance payouts do not extend to cemetery properties. As a result, families may find themselves in a position to shop for a final resting place on one of the hardest days of their lives.
3. The Impact on Loss on Finances:
Insurance serves to support those you leave behind, particularly if your loved one relies on your income for essential expenses such as mortgage payments, rent and education. It’s unreasonable to expect your family to figure it out during their most challenging moments. Preplanning relieves them of additional stress during their grief.
4. Prioritizing Cemetery Arrangements:
While funeral homes may be utilized only once, a cemetery is an everlasting location where family members will visit for years to come. Therefore, selecting the right cemetery and planning accordingly should be a top priority in your end-of-life decisions.
5. Avoid Unnecessary Stress:
Leaving critical decisions about your final resting place to someone unfamiliar with your wishes can lead to confusion and added pain for your loved ones. Planning today honors your life and respects the grief of those you care about.
6. Compassion and Dedication:
My compassion and dedication to families and their loved ones is not just a job, it is my mission and life’s work. I genuinely care for each family I assist and find fulfillment in honoring and helping others through one of life’s most challenging transitions.
