Questions you may have

  • Think of it as party planning—but for your final farewell! Pre-arrangement means deciding how you want things to go, from the playlist to the guest list (metaphorically speaking), so your loved ones don’t have to guess. It’s your last chance to have things your way!

  • Do you really trust your cousin Larry to pick the right flowers? Pre-arranging ensures everything goes according to your style and taste, while sparing your family from the “what would they have wanted?” debate. Bonus: You might save a few bucks by locking in today’s prices—it’s like a Black Friday deal for eternity.

  • Planning your funeral is easier than you think. Anyone can do it, and you can change your mind anytime—no strings attached. Plus, knowing your family won’t have to make 70+ decisions in two days? That’s the ultimate peace of mind.

  • You can handle everything down to the nitty-gritty details:

    • Burial or Cremation? Decide now and spare your family from awkward debates later. (Spoiler: “Viking Funeral” may not be an option.)

    • Casket or Urn? Pick one that screams “This is me!” Or at least doesn’t scream.

    • Type of Service? Religious, military, non-traditional—it’s your call. Want a pirate theme? No judgment here.

    • Funeral Home? Choose a place with good vibes or fantastic snacks—because yes, snacks matter.

    • Pallbearers, Music, and Readings? Name your A-team, pick your playlist (yes, you can include Beyoncé), and select readings that either inspire or get people laughing.

  • Nothing too scary—just your basic info, like your name, birth date, and those favorite songs you want playing at the service (because yes, “Don’t Stop Believin’” is always a good choice). And if you want, you can specify your favorite photo for the obituary so nobody picks that one from the family reunion where you’re mid-blink.

  • It’s more binding than a pinky swear! Once you sign a pre-need contract with a licensed funeral home, your wishes are set in stone (or at least very official paperwork). So unless you put “unicorn pallbearers” in the fine print, you’re good to go.

  • Absolutely! Life happens, and maybe you’ve decided you prefer a jazz band over bagpipes. Most plans are flexible, so you can update them as often as your tastes—or your sense of humor—evolve. Just don’t leave it to the last minute, okay?
