Why Pre-Plan?
Death can invoke a range of complex emotions: the pain of loss, bittersweet memories of shared moments, regret at words left unsaid. But it can also create a slew of logistical problems for those left behind.
One of the kindest and most thoughtful things you can do for your loved ones is relieve them of the financial and logistical burdens of planning your funeral. By making funeral arrangements in advance, you allow your friends and family to focus on their grief—not another to-do list item.
Prepaid Funeral Arrangements
For many people, the greatest advantage of preplanning a funeral is the financial flexibility it affords. When you plan in advance, you lock in the services at today’s rates, protecting against future price increases.
There are also several options for funding the funeral, including a preneed insurance policy, a payment arrangement with the funeral home, or purchasing the plan in full upfront. We’ll work with you to find the plan that fits your needs.
Planning Ahead for Peace of Mind
Many people assume they don’t need to plan their funeral arrangements because they just want something simple. But ironically, simple funeral wishes can become complicated for those left behind. Your family members may second-guess their decisions or feel tempted to over-spend out of uncertainty about how to best honor your memory. When you plan in advance, you alleviate this uncertainty and gain peace of mind knowing that your wishes—however simple or specific—will be honored.
You can begin planning online or request an appointment with one of Horan & McConaty’s preplanning specialists to walk through the process. Once you’re done, your plan will be stored securely with the funeral home. When the time comes, your loved ones will simply need to notify the funeral director, and we’ll handle the details.
If you change your mind or move away, your plan can be updated or transferred at any time. Not sure where to begin or wondering if preplanning is right for you? We’re happy to meet with you wherever you’re comfortable, whether that’s your home, a coffee shop, or one of our funeral home locations in Central Denver, South Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Centennial or Arvada.
