If you're comfortable sharing, have you ever been to a funeral where a loved one pre-planned their memorial arrangements? If so, how did it help you and your family? Share your story and learn from others in the comments. ⬇️

Planning ahead is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give your family and yourself. And with cemetery and funeral costs rising on January 1, now is the best time to lock in today’s price – because peace of mind shouldn’t fluctuate with the market.
