Funeral pre-planning

There are many reasons why someone chooses to plan their funeral ahead of time. Most choose to do this now for peace of mind later. It takes the pressure off family in a time of grief and ensures that your wishes are known. It can also ease the stress of the person dying as it is one less thing to worry about later on.
