Why You Should Plan Ahead
Advance planning is a matter of taking the time to think about – and record – your life celebration desires. It is a thoughtful gift to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. Once complete, you can relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family.
It’s All About Taking Control
Given time to consider it, you will quickly realize that advance 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:
-
is easy. There is no health questionnaire or physical exam required. Absolutely everyone can make an advance plan, and there is no waiting for return documents. The plan is completed, and put on file in our office
- lets your family clearly know your wishes
- relieves your family members of making very personal decisions on your behalf at the time of need
- can protect your family from the ravages of inflation. Your expenses can be covered when they need to be, through an advance payment plan.
Does Advance Planning Require Advance Payment?
The simple answer is just two letters: no. You can set your plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time they are needed.
Or, you can protect you assets and your family from inflation, by funding your plan in advance. This ensures your expenses will be covered when you need them to be.
When you choose to fund your final arrangements in advance, your money is put in a state-approved trust account or top-rated insurance company until required. After your advance 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.
Another point we would like to stress: When you create an advance plan with McLaughlin's, your plan will go where you go. No matter where you reside at the time of your passing, no matter what funeral service provider you choose to work with, your plan is completely portable and will be transferred, without penalty, to any funeral service you choose in the United States.
