Understanding​ ​​Prepaid​ ​Funeral​ ​Planning
Many​ ​people​ ​are​ ​under​ ​the​ ​assumption​ ​that​ ​preplanning​ ​a​ ​funeral​ ​is​ ​a​ ​lengthy​ ​and​ ​complicated
process.​ ​Others​ ​put​ ​off​ ​making​ ​arrangements​ ​because​ ​they​ ​fear​ ​that​ ​they​ ​will​ ​be​ ​increasing​ ​the
likelihood​ ​of​ ​an​ ​unexpected​ ​death.​ ​The​ ​reality​ ​is,​ ​preplanning​ ​a​ ​funeral​ ​alongside​ ​a​ ​funeral
director​ ​is​ ​a​ ​straightforward​ ​process​ ​that​ ​will​ ​provide​ ​you​ ​with​ ​peace​ ​of​ ​mind.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​rest
assured​ ​that​ ​you​ ​have​ ​taken​ ​action​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​care​ ​for​ ​your​ ​family​ ​when​ ​you​ ​eventually
pass​ ​away.
To​ ​begin​ ​preplanning​ ​a​ ​funeral,​ ​we​ ​advise​ ​writing​ ​down​ ​as​ ​many​ ​details​ ​you​ ​can​ ​think​ ​of​ ​related
to​ ​your​ ​ideal​ ​funeral​ ​service.​ ​This​ ​list​ ​should​ ​include​ ​things​ ​like​ ​the​ ​location​ ​of​ ​service,​ ​things
you​ ​would​ ​like​ ​included​ ​in​ ​the​ ​service,​ ​who​ ​you​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​speak,​ ​types​ ​of​ ​flowers,​ ​music​ ​that
should​ ​be​ ​played,​ ​and​ ​so​ ​on.​ ​The​ ​Pre-Arrange​ ​Online​ ​tool​ ​within​ ​our​ ​website​ ​is​ ​a​ ​great​ ​resource
to​ ​help​ ​get​ ​you​ ​started.​ ​This​ ​step-by-step​ ​interactive​ ​form​ ​allows​ ​you​ ​to​ ​click​ ​through​ ​available
options​ ​to​ ​make​ ​your​ ​selections.​ ​Upon​ ​completion​ ​of​ ​the​ ​form,​ ​it​ ​will​ ​be​ ​sent​ ​to​ ​a​ ​member​ ​of
our​ ​staff.​ ​For​ ​those​ ​interested​ ​in​ ​planning​ ​a​ ​​prepaid​ ​funeral​ ​in​ ​Winnipeg​,​ ​we​ ​highly​ ​recommend
using​ ​this​ ​tool​ ​to​ ​get​ ​you​ ​started.
After​ ​you​ ​have​ ​completed​ ​your​ ​initial​ ​pre-planning​ ​with​ ​our​ ​online​ ​tool,​ ​a​ ​member​ ​of​ ​our​ ​staff
will​ ​contact​ ​you​ ​to​ ​invite​ ​you​ ​to​ ​visit​ ​our​ ​funeral​ ​home.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​when​ ​our​ ​funeral​ ​director​ ​will​ ​go
over​ ​what​ ​you​ ​have​ ​selected​ ​to​ ​have​ ​included​ ​with​ ​your​ ​service,​ ​provide​ ​you​ ​with​ ​a​ ​tour​ ​of​ ​the

Pre-Paying​ ​For​ ​Your​ ​Funeral​ ​Service
Once​ ​you​ ​have​ ​finalized​ ​your​ ​arrangements,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​different​ ​options​ ​available​ ​in​ ​regards​ ​to
payment.​ ​Our​ ​staff​ ​would​ ​be​ ​happy​ ​to​ ​discuss​ ​these​ ​with​ ​you​ ​and​ ​create​ ​a​ ​solution​ ​to​ ​meet
your​ ​needs​ ​and​ ​budget.
There​ ​are​ ​two​ ​main​ ​reasons​ ​we​ ​strongly​ ​recommend​ ​paying​ ​for​ ​your​ ​funeral.​ ​The​ ​first​ ​being,​ ​it
relieves​ ​your​ ​family​ ​of​ ​the​ ​financial​ ​burden.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​pass​ ​unexpectedly,​ ​your​ ​family​ ​may​ ​not​ ​have
the​ ​funds​ ​immediately​ ​available.​ ​This​ ​means​ ​they​ ​will​ ​have​ ​to​ ​alter​ ​your​ ​plans​ ​or​ ​rely​ ​on​ ​a​ ​loan
that​ ​could​ ​carry​ ​high-interest​ ​rates​ ​to​ ​cover​ ​the​ ​costs.​ ​The​ ​second​ ​reason​ ​is​ ​that​ ​it​ ​protects​ ​you
from​ ​the​ ​cost​ ​of​ ​inflation.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​pre-arrange​ ​your​ ​funeral​ ​now​ ​but​ ​do​ ​not​ ​pay​ ​until​ ​your​ ​time​ ​of
death,​ ​inflation​ ​could​ ​cause​ ​the​ ​cost​ ​of​ ​your​ ​funeral​ ​to​ ​rise​ ​drastically.
Prepaying​ ​for​ ​your​ ​funeral​ ​service​ ​now​ ​will​ ​provide​ ​you​ ​and​ ​your​ ​family​ ​with​ ​peace​ ​of​ ​mind
knowing​ ​that​ ​everything​ ​has​ ​been​ ​taken​ ​care​ ​of​ ​ahead​ ​of​ ​time.​ ​When​ ​the​ ​time​ ​does​ ​come,​ ​your
family​ ​can​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​grieving​ ​and​ ​saying​ ​goodbye,​ ​rather​ ​than​ ​stressing​ ​over​ ​making
arrangements​ ​and​ ​paying​ ​for​ ​them.
