Making funeral plans in advance prevents an unexpected financial burden and emotional decisions for your loved ones. Your loved ones simply contact Bunker Family Funerals & Cremation in Mesa, AZ, and we will implement your transition funeral plan.
We understand that planning a funeral in advance can be daunting. However, there are a number of compelling reasons to making funeral plans and final arrangements in advance.
Here are four of the most common reasons to preplanning a funeral:
1. YOUR FAMILY WILL KNOW YOUR WISHES: Sadly, many families experience disputes and hard feelings when arranging for a loved one’s unexpected death. Because memories of the loved one’s wishes sometimes contradict each other, disagreements can easily arise, damaging the healing process. By making your funeral plans now, your loved ones won’t have to guess at what you may have wanted – they will know you were remembered as you wanted to be.
2. URGENT DECISIONS ARE COMPLETED NOW: Did you know that often more than after an individual’s passing? Things like getting a legal pronouncement of death and notifying friends and family can take time away from planning for your funeral and cause extra stress on loved ones. By making funeral plans ahead of time, you can ensure that your loved ones don’t have to wrestle over those details and decisions during their time of emotional upheaval. Knowing that everything is taken care of will allow proper remembrance and the first steps of healing.
3. PEACE OF MIND IS YOURS: All of your funeral plans are guaranteed and will be carried out just as you have directed. You and your family can feel comfortable that although you won’t need the plans for years to come, when they are needed, they will be available and taken care of. There is an immense peace of mind knowing your wishes will be executed as you designed them, meaning those you care about will be able to remember you as you want them to.
4. FUNERAL COSTS ARE ADDRESSED: As with most products and services, inflation drives the cost of funerals up yearly. Preplanning and purchasing a prepaid funeral plan generally ensures that your funeral is completely paid for at today’s prices. Many people assume savings or life insurance will cover their final expenses, but funerals must be paid for up front and many life insurance policies or bank accounts aren’t accessible to families until well after services have been rendered. By purchasing a prepaid funeral plan your family isn’t left to decide who will pay for the funeral.

Given time to consider it, you’ll quickly realize that pre-planning is all about ensuring that your wishes are known, so they can be acted upon when the time comes. Making the commitment to planning ahead:
The simple answer is just two letters: No. There are two options when it comes to planning and paying for your funeral. You can set plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing.
Or, you can protect you and your family from inflation, by pre-funding your funeral plan. This ensures your expenses will be covered when you need them to be.
When you choose to pre-fund your final arrangements, your money is put in a state-approved trust account or top-rated insurance company until required. After your pre-plan is paid for in full, our price is guaranteed. You will never have to pay more for the items you have already paid for.
