When the inevitable happens, you want you and your loved ones to be prepared. Although we can’t control how or when it happens, we do have control over how we will be remembered and the legacy we leave behind with our loved ones. This is where the importance of funeral pre-planning comes in.
Less Stress for Your Loved Ones
Losing a loved one is one of the most intense forms of grief a person can go through. During such a challenging time, it can be hard to make important decisions regarding the deceased’s funeral. There are many things to consider such as floral arrangements, music, catering, and more. Making these decisions, while vital parts of a memorial service, takes focus away from what truly matters: allowing time to remember and heal. By having a specific plan, your loved ones know that your memory will be honored the way you wished, providing them with comfort during a time when they need it most.
Other than providing emotional relief for your loved ones, pre-planning also provides financial relief. Every year, the cost of memorial services gets more expensive. By having a funeral plan, you can start paying now with the payment plan most suited to your needs, at today’s prices. Paying for funeral expenses when the person has already passed away can be stressful not only because of inflated prices, but also because of the laws and regulations that may prevent you from accessing the deceased’s finances.
Your Final Wishes, Guaranteed
Don’t leave your last wishes to chance. Whether you know exactly how you want your memorial service to happen or need some guidance in planning, we’re here to help you achieve your vision and ensure that your preferences for the ceremony, burial, or cremation will be carried out exactly as you desire.
Planning for a burial, cremation, or ceremony involves many parts—some that you might not have considered. A funeral director can help outline all the things you might need, whether it be the design of a casket or urn, the clothes you’ll want to wear, or how grand or simple you want the ceremony to be.
At every Eternal Chapels branch, we have trained, professional staff ready to answer all your questions and provide compassion and guidance throughout the entire process to ensure that your personalized plan perfectly captures your unique life and legacy. When the time comes, you and your loved ones can rest assured that everything will be handled with the utmost care.
Get the Perfect Eternal Resting Place
Pre-planning is not just limited to the wake or funeral service. With pre-planning, you have the power to choose whether you want to be buried or cremated, as well as where you would like your final resting place to be located.
Often, when individuals purchase memorial property at need, they have limited time and choices to choose from, which may lead to the deceased being buried or cremated under less-than-ideal circumstances. One of the biggest benefits of planning where you will be laid to rest is that you have the option to be surrounded by the people you love.
When choosing a memorial property ahead of time, you can choose the crypt, memorial lot, or even mausoleum most suited to your family. Many people find immense comfort when they know that the people they love will eternally be by their side because they purchased memorial property together.
With the many branches of Eternal Gardens located nationwide, we guarantee that we have the perfect location for you and your loved ones. Strategically located in various provinces, our memorial gardens are beautifully designed and professionally maintained to ensure that you will be dignified in your eternal rest.
Funeral pre-planning empowers individuals and ensures that they get the perfect send-off according to their wishes. By making thoughtful decisions about burial or cremation, as well as selecting memorial properties in advance, the burden on loved ones during an emotionally challenging time is alleviated. This process ensures a personalized and meaningful farewell while offering financial stability and the comfort of knowing that final wishes will be honored.
