“¦.Making Preplanned Or
Prepaid Arrangements
During our lives we
plan for many situations; education, having a family, vacations, weddings and
especially our retirement. However, many neglect to plan their funeral as it is
a realization of our own mortality. We purchase insurance to help us in
situations that may happen, such as accidents, earthquakes, fire, floods and
theft. We should also consider the pre-planning of our funeral service as it
not only lets our survivors know what our wishes are, but it will also help our
families through their time of bereavement resulting from our death.
Peace of mind is
really what planning is all about. It's knowing that both the financial and
emotional needs of those close to you will be met once you are gone.
When you are making
your plans for funeral arrangements, consider the feelings and needs of your
family members. Imposing certain restrictions in your pre-arrangements, could
cause hardship on the survivors.
What is a Pre-Paid
Pre-Arrangement? We simply record your wishes down on paper, collecting personal
information, your choices, and selections and keeping them on file in our
facility until the time of death. When death occurs, one call to Squamish
Funeral Chapel is all that is needed to begin the funeral process. Your funeral
director will carry out all the arrangements according to your wishes, and
benefits from your pre-payment plan will be paid directly to the funeral home.
This removes the burden from your family and you will have the piece of mind
ahead of time knowing your arrangements were taken care of, for those you love
- at today's prices - not tomorrow's.
