Your own death isn’t likely to be sensationalized in the news headlines the way superstars, famous athletes and personalities are, but the current headline waves over Michael Jackson’s death and the ambiguity of his final wishes may inspire some of us to think about making our own final preparations. Preparations which should include a last will and testament so there is no question as to who takes guardianship of your children, possession of your assets, and oversees other arrangements after you’re gone.

While talking to a lawyer is the best way to get legal advice about guardianship, inheritances, division of assets and other legal and financial matters, a lawyer can’t necessarily help you plan your own funeral service. Pre-planning of your final arrangements can be made at most funeral homes, but be sure you are dealing with individuals who have experience working through such sensitive matters.

Ingram’s Funeral Home, which offers pre-planning services, says that there are numerous advantages to pre-planning. Cost control, protection of survivor benefits, and peace of mind are but a few according to Ingram’s pre-planning expert, David Beeler. The biggest advantage though, could be the emotional stress and anguish it saves your loved ones when the time comes. Family members can focus on grieving their loss rather than dealing with the necessary facets of your final arrangements.

If you aren’t sure how to cover costs, have never thought about pre-planning your funeral, or are just interested in learning more about pre-need services, contact Ingram Funeral Home and Crematory at (770) 887-2388 or visit their website at www.ingramfuneralhome.com .
