Are you aware of the costs associated with a funeral? Have you ever considered making funeral arrangements in advance? Pre-arranging a funeral offers financial, practical, and other benefits.

People have different reasons for putting off making their funeral plans. What is keeping you from pre-arranging your final wishes?

If you want to know more reasons to pre-arrange a funeral, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services.

Nobody wants to burden their family with the stress associated with planning a funeral. This interview is an opportunity to learn how both you and your loved ones can enjoy the benefits of funeral pre-arrangement services.

The Financial Benefits of Pre-Arranging a Funeral

During this episode Valerie digs a bit deeper into the benefits of pre-arranging funerals, starting with a universal concern - finances - and what costs are guaranteed for a future service.

No matter how much someone thinks they understand the financial benefits of pre-arranging a funeral service, Valerie finds herself answering some questions more frequently than others.

It’s never too early to pre-arrange a funeral service. Waiting until it’s too late, however, burdens your loved ones with the tasks of guessing about your final wishes and carrying them out for you.

Don’t Miss Out on These Pre-Arrangement Perks

Then Valerie continues discussing the financial and practical benefits of pre-arranging a funeral.

During the podcast she answers questions like:

- What happens to interest the Funeral Home earns on pre-arrangement funds?
- What is probate and does it affect funds I allocate for funeral pre-arrangements?
- What things does pre-arrangement save my family from having to do if I die?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Do I want to learn how pre-arranging a funeral can benefit my loved ones in the event of my death? Do I need someone to help me figure it out?

If you answered “yes” to either or both questions, then listen to the entire podcast and then contact Martin Brothers via their website or leave a comment below.

Planning a Funeral When You Aren’t Sure What You Want

Next Valerie segues into whether you should pre-arrange if you don’t really know everything you want for your future funeral or memorial service.

Valerie goes on to use her experiences in the funeral home industry to share both comments she’s heard against pre-arranging and the methods she uses to address them.

Martin Brothers has a wonderful system they use to take down all of the details for funeral pre-arrangement services - even if you later want to change your mind about something.

Valerie wraps up the episode with some final thoughts about reasons to pre-arrange a funeral in Vancouver.
