The difference between pre-planning and pre-paying?

Pre-planning

You can pre-plan your funeral without paying now. It’s important to choose a funeral director with which you are happy and can discuss your wishes with. The funeral director will document you wishes and keep them on file until they are needed. Your estate will then have to pay for the services at the rates being charged at the time the funeral is held.


Pre-paid Funerals

Although discussing your own or a family members funeral is not always easy, more people are planning ahead and paying for their funeral in advance.

There are many different reasons why people choose to pre-arrange their funeral. Often people are concerned that the arrangements will be a worry for their family at a time of distress and wish to ease the burden. If caring for elderly relatives those responsible may find it reassuring to reduce the inevitable stress of bereavement.
