Reasons to Plan Your Own Funeral

While no one likes to dwell on the idea of their death, there are many advantages to preplanning with Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home. Some say it’s the greatest gift of love you can give your family. Whether you’re 25 or 75, here are the reasons why you should consider prearranging:

1.) Make your wishes clear.

Everyone is different, but some have particular ideas about how they want to be laid to rest. You might have a strong opinion about cremation or embalming. You might want to be sent off with a lavish reception with a beautiful buffet spread. Others want to be laid to rest simply with a quiet, intimate gathering of family and friends. When you preplan with Dynasty Memorial Mortuary Funeral Home, whatever your wishes, you know they’ll come to pass.

2.) Remove family tensions.

This will be a challenging time for your family and even more stressful because of the need to make all kinds of decisions. Throw family dynamics into the mix, and it can lead to disagreements and strained relationships. Save your family from this additional stress by prearranging with us!

3.) Save money overall.

You don’t have to pay for your plans—you can simply put them on file with us. But you do have the option of paying for them. If you're in your 40s or 50s, you could live another 30-40 years, but any inflation the country sees during that time won’t impact the cost of your funeral.

4.) Save your family money.

It’s true that none of us know the moment we’ll pass away. If we leave the earth suddenly, without planning, our family will have to make all the arrangements – and pay the bill. When emotions run high, it’s not the time to make financial decisions. You can remove this burden from their shoulders with preplanning.

5.) Make it personal. 

Imagine someone reading a note penned by you before your passing to your family at the funeral. Think of the reaction from loved ones when your favorite song starts playing during the service or when we start serving your favorite desserts at the reception afterward. All of these personal touches, which will only happen if you plan ahead can be your final message of love to your family and friends.

6.) Gain peace of mind – for you and the people you love.

You know your wishes are recorded, and your family will not have the added stress of having to plan your funeral after you’re gone. They’ll be able to focus on what matters – the love of your family and the memories they’ll hold of you in their heart forever.
