Reasons to Pre-Plan a Funeral.

Emotional overspending is common in stressful or emotional situations like funeral planning.

While one is grieving a loss, it is challenging to make big decisions. The stress and emotions add up even more when you consider other factors, such as the shock of death and lack of funds; without pre-planning, loved ones must decide for you.

Families can start the preplanning conversation to avoid the stress of last-minute planning and emotional overspending. Not only will it help prevent emotional spending, it also ensures that the funeral will reflect the deceased’s wishes.

At Burckhalter-Highsmith Funeral and Cremation Services, we have many years of experience helping people with pre-planning. Call us today to schedule an appointment, and we will help you take simple steps for you and your family.

The history of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day originated during the American Civil War when communities began decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers. The first national observance was in 1868, and in 1971, it became a federal holiday. We observe it today with visits to cemeteries, parades, and ceremonies.

There's absolutely no shame in it.
