PRE-PLANNING - WHY IS PRE-PLANNING IMPORTANT?

According to a general survey, there are three primary concerns among family breadwinners. Matters concerning their children’s future top the list. This is followed by financial pressures of the next generation. In third place is the occurrence of unpleasant incidents such as loss of income, critical illnesses and worse still, loss of life.

Life is uncertain; but death isn’t. That is the universal truth that is shared by all regardless of age, status, race or gender. Anyone who has lived through the unfortunate passing of a loved one will know how devastating it can be. Aside from having to deal with the trauma of losing someone dear, there is the additional stress of dealing with the financial and logistical details.

What would the deceased have wanted? What sort of religious service is appropriate?  Do you choose burial or cremation? Are there adequate funds to cover the entire process?

If providing answers to these questions feels difficult before death occurs, imagine how it would be like when it happens. This is exactly why pre-planning is important for both yourself and your family.
