The Act Of Pre-Paying A Funeral Home

Ballard-Sunder Funeral & Cremation

Everyone deserves a dignified send off and while you are certain your family would give you that, it can be nice to plan your own services with a Jordan, MN funeral home. Not only will you get exactly what you want in terms of the final disposition method, final resting place, and any other services, but your family no longer has that planning burden on their shoulders when your time comes. If you are ready to move forward with those plans, you will also want to consider pre-paying the funeral home for the services you choose. Here are a few reasons why this can also be a good move.

Pay Today’s Prices

Look into statistics and see what funerals cost a few decades ago versus what they cost today. Those costs will only go up as the future becomes today. Instead of paying whatever those prices might be in the future (either through your savings, or through loved ones), you can pay for the services today—at today’s prices, and use the services whenever the time comes. You can save quite a bit of money that way. You can then leave that money to loved ones, spend it in other ways during your life, or invest it to watch it grow for the future.

Relieve Family From Burdens

Losing a loved one is hard enough. Having to then make their final arrangements can be even more stressful and overwhelming. If you don’t want your family to have to go through that process, you can plan things yourself and relieve them of that burden. You have peace of mind that you are going to get what you want for your final services. And they have peace of mind that they are doing just what you want as well. They will be able to say their final goodbyes and support one another instead of planning things they might be unsure of.

Giving A Final Gift

Planning your own funeral might seem weird while you are doing it, but once everything is in place, it’s like giving a final gift to your family. When you pre-pay and pre-plan, everything is taken care of and lined up just as you want it to be. Your family just contacts the funeral home and everything falls into place as you have arranged. It can be a great final gift to your loved ones.

If you are ready to move forward with your own final services, you’ll need to speak with a Jordan, MN funeral home for options and to put things in writing. Contact Ballard-Sunder Funeral & Cremation at (952) 445-1202 to get ideas and package prices so you can start to think about the right options for your situation. Then, you can visit with our funeral director in 833 Marschall Rd, Shakopee, MN 55379 to set things up. We’d also like to give you a tour of our facilities so you know we have the space you’ll need for whatever service you are planning.
