How to Start the Funeral Arrangements Conversation

The Legacy Conversation: Talking About Funeral Arrangements

Is a recent article I read which offers some great ideas about breaking the ice and then guiding the conversation. What’s important is to have the conversation; easier said than done I know, whether it is initiated by the children or the parents.

Of the many less-than-pleasant tasks a caregiver must take on, one is making arrangements for how a loved one will be remembered. Fear is often a motivating factor as only a fourth of Americans pre-plan their funeral, according to the Funeral Memorialization Information Council. It is emotionally challenging to think about end-of-life decisions. Yet by initiating this conversation now, everyone involved will be in a more comfortable position later. Planning at the time of loss can be a difficult experience as emotions run high or arguments and brash decisions may occur. Here's how you can respectfully encourage those you care for to verbalize their desires and plan a personalized, meaningful goodbye.

The great resource I told you about earlier is: http://www.funeralplan.com/ which has recently changed so you probably want to make note of it as: www.beremembered.com as the old address will probably be phased out. As mentioned, they offer a lot of resources to help with this conversation. I really like the Funeral Location Finder but like I said earlier, if you are one of my clients in the Twin Ports Area, we offer a special “consumer protection” service which offers services you’ll want to know about before selecting a funeral home.

The insurance industry is very highly regulated and has strict policies about “advertising”. If you would like to know more about the companies and products I offer, please contact me by completing this form. (You’ll need to be between the ages of 40 to 85 to be insured but I am glad to answer any question you may have regardless of age; just use the same form and fill in the comments section).

How to Leave Your Final (Funeral) Wishes (Superior, WI) Free Guide

As an estate planning attorney, I am always addressing the issue of mortality. Let's face it, everyone is going to die, and yet I am amazed at how many people do not leave any type of verbal or written instructions for their loved ones to follow after they're gone. And no, I am not just referring to instructions about what they would want to happen to their property, which should be written down in a last will and testament or a revocable living trust, but what type of funeral arrangements they would want and what should happen to their remains after they're gone.

The above is part of an interesting article I ran across recently, titled:

How to Make Your Funeral Wishes Known to Your Loved Ones, Making a Written Declaration of Your Final Wishes Will Ease Stress and Anxiety. I especially appreciated how easy the writer made things to understand and outlined a few steps and reasons why one would leave behind their final wishes. I’ll share them here and also offer a free guide that I think you’ll find helpful.

Here are just two of the tips (I really suggest that you read more of the article here):

Write down your funeral wishes in a “writing” separate from your will or trust.

Talk to your loved ones about your funeral wishes.

The article also recommends Parting Wishes. Please see the following details and consider getting more information:
