When is the Best Time to Pre-Plan Your Funeral?

It grants peace of mind knowing they aren’t leaving this responsibility to family members during an emotional time. To help you get started, you can use our helpful Pre-Planning Checklist. By taking the time now to gather information and calmly make choices, you can carefully select specific items you want and need, and potentially fund them in advance through secure investment vehicles.
