PREPLANNING IS A GOOD IDEA FOR A LOT OF REASONS, AND A REAL GIFT TO YOUR FAMILY.

"Pre-planning may seem like a difficult conversation, but it's a loving one" is a frequent mantra you'll hear from Nelson Anderson of Anderson Goodale Memorial Homes. When the situation occurs that we will all face with final arrangements, it becomes even more clear what a generous decision it is to have your arrangements made in advance. "Everyone is clear on what mom or dad wanted" is just one thing Nelson hears from families who benefited from Pre-planned funeral arrangements in place.

It's also a very safe and more flexible process than most people think. For example: The funds are held separately, not by a particular funeral home. That means, if you move elsewhere or have different circumstances, those funds are portable to move with you and accommodate whatever changes that may arise. That includes even another funeral home. In the case of the Anderson Goodale Memorial Homes, the charge at the time of preplanning is honored, with regard to merchandise; caskets, urns, etc. and professional services. So, as the policy grows, it acts to mitigate any inflation in costs that rise prior to your need to access the plan. It's also guaranteed. Your loved ones won't be left with any unexpected expenses. Moreso, they will know precisely what the desires of their loved one were, saving many anxious moments and decisions.

Many financial advisors and plans include pre planning now. It's practical. It's generous. It makes a difficult time a little bit easier.
