We offer culturally appropriate funeral services of all communities and individual families. We have been covering the topics surrounding death, funerals, and bereavement. We have been highlighting the benefits of preplanning a funeral. There are many financial and emotional benefits of doing so. <br /><br /> We see one benefit as being able to &ldquo;Get Down to Brass Tacks.&rdquo; This saying means getting down to the details without a lot of chit-chat or fluff. Preplanning a funeral, especially your own funeral, is about getting down to the details. There are many things to think about. We covered some in a past blog, that you can read here. <br /><br /> One big decision to be made is about the type of service that will be held. People generally like a service that reflects their values and personality. Do you want a humble, quiet, religious service? Or would you prefer a three-day, music and rum-filled celebration of life? These are questions that should be answered by you, not others, and preplanning is the only way to ensure you get the send off you want. <br /><br /> Other decisions revolve around the guest list. Do you have that one cousin you know will cause a scene and needs to be kept away, or maybe an estranged brother who should at least be informed of the death? Making this list can also serve as a reminder to seek out that brother and try to make things right before a funeral! <br /><br /> Preplanning a funeral can be a cathartic time of reflection on our lives while we are also saving money and taking a burden off our survivors&rsquo; shoulders. <br /><br /> Call (866) 448-0888 today and talk to our experts.</p>
