How to Start the Preplanning Conversation with Your Loved
Ones
Set a time to have the conversation. Schedule it as an
appointment with your loved ones, whether you want to share your plans with
them or ask them to share their plans with you.
Tell your parent or loved one that you want to ensure their
final arrangements are done according to their wishes, and you need their help
to make that happen.
Ease into the conversation. Questions such as "Have you
ever thought about where you would like to be buried?" or "What type
of funeral would you like to have?" may open the discussion to more
details about your loved one's wishes.
Take advantage of funeral-related opportunities. Attending the
funeral of a friend, family member or colleague, or watching a movie or
television show with funeral scenes, may naturally prompt the discussion with
your own loved ones. Talk about what you liked or didn't like about the
services you saw or attended.
Tell your children or loved ones that because you care for them
so much, you don't want to burden them with difficult decisions when you're
gone. Explain that you've made your own final arrangements, and give them a
written record of what they are.
Make it a family affair. Schedule an appointment with your
funeral home or cemetery provider and invite your loved ones along to
participate in the creation of your personalized celebration.
Why Funeral Preplanning Makes Sense
Take responsibility for your arrangements. Just as estate
planning and creating a will are responsible actions, planning your final
arrangements in advance makes emotional and financial sense and protects your
loved ones from the burden of planning services for you.
Eliminate guesswork for your family. When you make your funeral
arrangements in advance, you'll help alleviate your family's burden of making
difficult decisions at what will be an already difficult time. With your wishes
recorded, they won't be left to guess what you would have wanted.
Personalize your service. Making your final arrangements in
advance allows you to influence the personal details that are important to you.
Celebrate your life, your way.
Find the value and quality you want. Investigating different
funeral homes is an important part of making final arrangements. Comparison
shopping allows you to find the value and quality of service that's right for
you.
5 Things You Need to Know About Preplanning a Funeral
1.
Be informed about
the choices available. Prearranging gives
you the opportunity to become informed about your options in an unpressured
environment, when you have time to think things through. You can select and
specify the services and personalized details that truly have meaning to you
and your family.
2.
Record your wishes. Many people think they have taken care of everything by
writing a will, establishing a living will or even purchasing their cemetery
plot. But that's not all. Your survivors benefit most when you prearrange. You
should make sure that your wishes are recorded in writing and shared with
family members and your attorney.
3.
Talk about it with
your family. Involving those
most affected by your death can bring peace of mind and relief to those who
will have to carry out your wishes. More importantly, knowing your wishes and
carrying them out can bring great comfort to surviving family members and
friends.
4.
Consider planning
and prepaying for your arrangements. Planning your funeral or cremation service in advance can take
care of the details. But only prearranging (prepaying for your services) can
take care of the actual expense of the funeral ahead of time, easing the future
financial burden on your loved ones.
5.
Insurance may not
be enough. Insurance policies
are not protected against inflation. Prices of products and services will
continue to rise while the amount of your policy coverage remains the same.
Your loved ones may not have enough left from the insurance coverage to cover
the higher cost of your funeral expenses. Prearrangements purchased through
your local Dignity Memorial® professionals combine the benefits of
insurance with a guaranteed funeral or cremation service and price, leaving the
insurance untouched for the living.
Be
Informed About The Choices Available
No one wants to think about planning
for their own funeral. How would you like to be remembered? Your funeral or
cremation service should be personalized to reflect your wishes and should
bring comfort to your family and friends.
Today no two services are alike. Videos,
photographs, music, special readings and the involvement of family and friends
are all appropriate and encouraged.
Prearranging gives you the opportunity
to become informed about your options in an unpressured environment, when you
have the time to think things through. You’re in full control and you can
select and specify the services that truly have meaning to you and your family.
A
Sensible Way to Make Informed Decisions Before Your Time of Need
The death of someone you care for,
together with wanting to make the right decision—especially when you have a
limited amount of time to attend to all the details—leaves many families
feeling overwhelmed. Often these decisions must be made when a family is
grieving and is the least prepared.
Many people have done everything they
can to protect their family’s future: invested wisely, opened savings accounts
and acquired insurance on their life and home, but they haven’t taken care of
their own funeral arrangements—leaving one of the most difficult tasks to their
loved ones to figure out at a time of sadness and loss. That’s why it’s so
important to give serious thought to your personal wishes and to plan your
services in advance.
Talk
About it With Your Family and Incorporate Their Wishes
A funeral or memorial service is an
important part of the grieving process. For family members and loved ones
alike, the service provides an opportunity to express their grief, to share
memories and to celebrate a life lived.
When planning your funeral or memorial
service, the opinions and wishes of your family should be considered.
Prearranging is an excellent time for families to discuss and make objective
decisions calmly and rationally together, away from the pressures and stress
that often occur at a time of sadness and loss.
Involving those most affected by your
death can bring peace of mind and relief to those who will have to carry out
your wishes. More importantly, knowing your wishes and carrying them out can
bring great comfort to surviving family members and friends.
That’s why many people find
prearranging their funeral or memorial service is the best decision they can
make for themselves and their family.

TUCSON, Az. – Each year at this time it’s on the minds of most seniors and
caretakers of older adults in the Pima area.
It’s Medicare, and starting October 15 and continuing through December 7th,
the annual open enrollment period for seniors to select their benefits
beginning in 2016 is in effect.
Having
a hard time understanding the budget debate about Medicare? Scare tactics aside, there are more Medicare
options today than ever before and it’s important to make the right decision
about your or your loved one’s medical care benefits. So how do you know where
to start?
“I
tell consumers to bring in their current Medicare benefit plan so we can discuss
what options they may have for the coming benefit year,” said Chanchal Yadav,
MD of CareMore Health Plan, a highly regarded Medicare Advantage program that
serves seniors and other Medicare eligible consumers in the Pima area. “There is an overabundance of information
available to the public about Medicare options so you should sift through what’s
important for you to know related to changes to your plan for the coming year,
whether with your current provider or another trusted resource.”
