  The death of a yourself or that of a loved one is not usually an enjoyable event to think about. It   is   not surprising that most people put off planning for this eventuality until they have no choice.   Making the idea of planning for a future funeral or cremation arrangements so scary is    undefined expectations. Most people have never planned a cremation before and find themselves having to make critical decisions during times of intense emotional stress.

 3. Your Family Will Thank You Later.

  We have all heard or been in a situation like this before: a family member passes away, and their   children or other relatives are faced with difficult decisions related to funeral plans on the spot.   Panic, confusion, anxiety, stress, and even a bit of internal conflict arise. Questions such as "Who should we be calling right now?" or "How are we going to pay for this?" demand immediate action. One way to alleveiate some of this inevitable stress, is by planning a cremation in advance. Individuals can even pay for it in advance. Involving other family members in an honest conversation during the planning process can help avoid these issues and allow your family, friends, and loved ones to focus on their own emotions and supporting each other in their time of grief, rather than having to spend time and stress arranging funeral plans. Inform them of your choices and give them the tools they will need to follow through with your wishes. It's a gift that they probably won't fully appreciate until the moment arrives when it is essential that these decisions be implemented.
