The concept of planning your last rites well before your death is given the name of "prepaid funerals". This is slowly turning out to be a really popular concept because of the several advantages that come attached with it. Despite this, you’ll find quite a good number of people around you thinking emotionally and questioning the reason to arrange for your last rites before you have actually passed away.

Despite this, the fact remains the same that there are several emotional as well as the financial benefits of arranging your last ceremony in advance. Let us review some of them

THE EMOTIONAL BENEFITS

You get more time to assess the available alternatives and decide wisely

One of the biggest benefits of this concept is that you as well as your family members have ample time to review the alternatives available before you and select the one that you prefer and matches your budget. There will be no rush to take the decision as we often see after the death where there is no other option than to pick the first alternative coming your way. It is because of this very reason that this concept is getting hugely popular in Italian funerals, Chinese funerals and several other ethnicities.

You get the sense of accomplishment

Another benefit of going with the concept is that you get a sense of accomplishment as you are aware that during the time of need, all needs would be found completely met.

Lesser hassle for the family

Another reason why this concept has attained popularity in catholic funerals as well as Chinese funerals is that at the time of death, your family has lesser hassles to take. The reason is that everything would be pre-arranged and the responsibility of the family would only be to inform the director that has been booked at the time of contract signing.

THE FINANCIAL BENEFITS

Now let us quickly review the final benefits that people can avail from this concept.

The pre-payment option

The topmost financial benefit of getting prepaid catholic funerals, Christian funerals or Chinese funerals is that you have the option of pre-payment. The reason is that at the time of contract signing, current cost is taken into consideration and at the time of availing the service, the cost that was fixed at the time of contract signing is used. The director has no power to ask for any additional money than what has been mentioned in the contract, irrespective of how much the inflation has risen in between contract signing and service availing.

The family is always in a benefit

Because of the clause mentioned in the pointer above, the deal is always beneficial for the family because the cost of the services would surely surge between contract signing and service availing.

No last minute expenses at all

One of the most remarkable benefits is that the family has no expenses related points to be worried about. The reason is quite simple that under the tag of prepaid, they have already made payment for every service that they will avail at the time of death.
