The difference between pre-paid and pre-arranged funerals
While pre-arranged funerals (pre-planned) and pre-paid funerals may seem similar, these two options differ in significant ways.
A pre-planned funeral usually involves a discussion us to detail any specific arrangements you would like included in your funeral service.
Everything from music, flowers, venue, vehicles and readings/poetry can be decided on.
By pre-planning your funeral, you can be sure that your loved ones will be clear on your wishes and preferences.
However after pre-planning a funeral, unless you pay in advance and sign a contract, your ultimate wishes may not carry out. If for example, family members – who end up paying for your funeral – decide on different arrangements after your passing.
Pre-paid funerals help to alleviate these concerns.
