Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something...
When you had the chance.

Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before us, never to return in quite the same way again.
Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon the soul with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words.
So, let us not leave anything for later. Let us seize the moments as they come, with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the possibilities that lie before us. For in the end, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we left undone, the words left unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled.

— Before the Coffee Gets Cold is a 2015 novel by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Save Money by Paying Today’s Prices

Prepaying for your funeral enables you to secure your funeral costs at today’s prices, irrespective of if your funeral is next month or in 30years.

Since costs are locked at today’s prices regardless of whether you pay in full or in instalments, you don’t have to worry about price increases in the future.

Ease the Financial Burden on Your Family

Prepaid funerals protect your family financially at a time when they may be forced to make tough emotional decisions. When your prepaid funeral plan fees are paid in full, you can rest assured that your family will not incur any financial burdens due to funeral expenses.

Have Your Final Wishes Honoured

If you have specific preferences for the disposition of your remains and the nature of your funeral services, then the best thing you can do is clearly express them in a funeral plan and allocate the finds accordingly. A funeral plan allows you to share your preference for burial or cremation, the music and readings at your funeral, the colour and style of coffin, the florals to be used and the list goes on.

Or, you may not even want a funeral service at all.

Have your say in how you will be farewelled and prevent your family from having to pay for things you don’t think are necessary.

Ease the Emotional Burden on your Family

If your wishes are unknown when you die, your family will be faced with making difficult decisions at a difficult time and often taken advantage of and talked in spending more money than they need to. The end result of all this decision making is confusion, disagreements and unnecessary emotional and financial stress.
By making a plan you can ease the emotional burden and just allow them to grieve.

Ease the Financial Burden on your Family

Planning ahead enables you to make financial arrangements to cover your funeral costs. Even if you are leaving behind sufficient money, it is not always easy for your survivors to be able to access it. Funeral insurance and funeral trusts are sound financial planning options you can consider ahead of time.

Such true words from In Their Footsteps

People mean well.
They offer advice.
They tell you how strong you are.
They say things like “they’d want you to be happy,” or “at least they’re not suffering.”
They talk about closure. About moving on. About staying positive.

But here’s the thing—
Until you’ve sat in the front row at a funeral…
Until you’ve looked at a casket and felt like the world cracked open…
Until you’ve had to stand there and say goodbye when you weren’t ready—
You don’t really know.

You don’t know how grief rearranges every part of you.
You don’t know how long the silence lasts after everyone else goes back to normal.
You don’t know what it’s like to carry someone in your heart because you can no longer carry them in your life.

So, if you haven’t been there yet, I’m truly glad.
I hope that day doesn’t come for you for a very, very long time.
But please—
Don’t tell me how I should be grieving.
Don’t tell me what joy should look like right now.
Just sit with me. Walk beside me.
Or let me be.

Because unless you’ve sat in the front row…
You don’t get to hold the mic.
