Did you ever wonder how your family would celebrate your life after you’ve passed away? Have you ever wished you could make your own arrangements to save them the heartache? You may be surprised at all the benefits of pre-arranging funeral arrangements for the living.

When people pass away without making their final wishes known, the chore falls upon their loved ones to make those choices. Is this a burden you want to put on your family and close friends?

If you want to know more about pre-arranging funeral arrangements, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds interviews Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services about the advantages of early funeral planning.

Pre-arranging funeral arrangements brings up a lot of frequently asked questions. This is your opportunity to hear the answers from an industry leader.

When Do I Pay for a Pre-Arranged Funeral?

The episode begins with Valerie addressing when the balance of payment comes due if you do go through the process of pre-arranging your own funeral at Martin Brothers in Vancouver, BC.

Next you’ll hear Valerie explain how you might pay for your pre-arranged funeral over various lengths of time. The longest time period she mentions in this episode may surprise you.

There is always the chance someone may pass away before paying in full for pre-arranged services at the funeral chapel. This podcast also reviews some options for families in that situation.

Why Should I Pre-Arrange My Own Funeral?

Then Valerie discusses the many reasons you might choose to pre-arrange a funeral service for either yourself or a loved one. She also provides answers to questions such as:

- What could go wrong with leaving my final wishes up to my family?
- Who is responsible for paying for my funeral if I do not plan ahead of time?
- How can I make sure my final wishes are respected by my family?

Now ask yourself these two things: Do I want to save my family the stress of planning my funeral? Am I ready to start pre-arranging funeral arrangements so my final wishes are honored?

If you answered “Yes” to either or both of these questions, then use the link below to visit Martin Brothers’ website and begin the process of pre-arranging a funeral or memorial service in Vancouver.

Do I Have to Pre-Arrange Every Last Detail?

Next Valerie addresses how to balance pre-arranging a funeral and letting your family input their wishes for a celebration of your life after your passing.

Pre-arranging certain elements can help your family save money while giving them the freedom and the honor of helping make some important decisions during this delicate time.

When you arrange your final wishes, it doesn’t have to take anything away from the loved ones you leave behind. In fact, it may do just the opposite.

Valerie wraps up the episode by sharing her final thoughts on advanced funeral planning.
