Pre-planning for Own Funeral and Making Pre-Burial Plans Proves to Be an Effective Way to Combat Inflation

With today's economy and the ever-increasing inflation rates, paying for a funeral is harder than ever.

Utah, UT (prHWY.com) July 3, 2012 - With today's economy and the ever-increasing inflation rates, paying for a funeral is harder than ever. Due to this fact, several people find that pre-paying and pre-planning for their funeral and burial is the best option for them and their families. Using a funeral pre-planning checklist while still alive saves money for families in the long run.

Inflation's Effect on Funeral Prices

Inflation is always on a continual rise. It increases the costs of groceries, gasoline and even funerals. According to the National Funeral Directors' Association (NFDA), the national median cost of a funeral is $6,560. This doesn't even include the costs of burial, a burial vault or grave liner, a cemetery plot, a monument or headstone, flowers, or an obituary (iMortuary Funeral Home Directory, "The National Funeral Directors' Association and Funeral Cost Statistics"). These funeral costs will continue to rise, making it advantageous to pay for your burial plans as soon as possible. Pre-planning a funeral with a funeral planning checklist can save family members of deceased loved ones from the stress of funeral prices and plans.

The Finances and Decisions of Pre-planning a Funeral

Family Services Agency (FSA), a company that specializes in pre-planning funerals, has created a funeral planning checklist to help individuals pay for their funerals ahead of time as well as to decide the details of their funeral ceremony and burial. The funeral planning checklists allows individuals to plan their funeral down to the minutest detail. FSA's agents help begin the funeral pre-planning process by helping a client consider each aspect of burial plans, such as the marker, the plot, the casket, transportation arrangements, embalming, and staff and facilities. FSA clients are also able to plan specific and often overlooked details of a funeral ceremony such as flowers, speakers, and music.

After making their funeral and burial plans, with the funeral planning checklist, individuals are able to pay for these plans. Opposed to the huge up front fee that family members must pay when a relative dies, pre-planning funeral arrangements allows the individual to pay these costs in manageable monthly increments. Many choose to use this funeral planning/paying checklists in conjunction with other funeral monetary methods due to the fact that savings and life insurance are not protected from the effects of inflation.
