Blog

If you're like most people, you may not even really understand your future funeral needs. Many people put off thinking about funerals because they're so focused on living life in the moment. It's a good idea to take time to think about these needs now. You don't have to go through the planning process alone! With help from a funeral planning professional, you can benefit greatly. Take a look at the following information to better understand the benefits to working with a funeral planning professional. 

Prepare for the Costs Now

Many people go about their life without even considering the costs of future funeral needs. If you want to make sure that you're fully prepared for all financial obligations in the future, it's a good idea to work with a funeral planning professional. He or she can better advise you on what to expect with costs. You can also start to make payments for your needs now so there is a lot less to worry about in the future.

Explore All Options

Knowing what options exist can be difficult and confusing when you do your planning on your own. With help from a professional (such as one from J Allen Hooper Funeral Chapel), you can better understand all of your funeral planning options so that you can better make a choice. You can explore a burial service, cremation, and can also better understand the options that you have for your service.

Feel More Comfortable

Working alongside a funeral planner can also make you feel much more comfortable. Most people don't want to talk about their funeral planning needs because it makes them feel uneasy. It can be scary to think about that point in your life, but a funeral planner can make it less overwhelming and can make you feel a lot more at ease.  

Have Your Affairs in Order 

It's also a good idea to work with a planning professional so that your affairs are in order. If you start to handle things alone, you may get distracted with everyday life. By hiring a funeral planner to help you, you can have pace of mind knowing that all of these important decisions are already made and outlined. It can also make your family feel a lot better, too! 

As you can see, it's worthwhile to hire a professional to help you through the planning process. If you have any questions, or if you're ready to start planning your funeral needs, contact a funeral home today to learn more about the process.

Writing an Obituary: Do's and Don'ts

Following the death of my grandfather, I found myself in the awkward position of having to write the obituary. I wanted to capture the spirit of him and list everything he was proud of in his life, including his family and work accomplishments. However, at the same time, I knew that I had a limited amount of space to work with. After spending hours researching obituaries, I finally felt confident in my skills and proceeded to write my grandfather's. In my opinion, it was perfect. Writing an obituary while you are grieving your loss is challenging, but I hope that my website helps you write one for your loved one that helps capture who they were as a person.
