The emotional benefits of preplanning your cremation are substantial. First, when you preplan cremation, you save your family from going through this emotionally taxing process at a time when they should be mourning their loss. Cremation planning after a loss requires families to focus on myriad details and make decisions quickly – which is both unpleasant and potentially costly when they’re emotionally compromised.
When you preplan cremation, you take the emotional decision-making out of the process. Your family simply calls to set the cremation in motion, and we’ll follow your cremation plan and handle the details so your family doesn’t have to deal with it. By doing this in advance, you save your family from the emotional spending that often accompanies compromised decision-making after a loss.
Finally, you get the benefit of making your own decisions about your end-of-life wishes. When you preplan your cremation, you get the opportunity to express your wishes to your family. This helps ensure that your wishes are honored. Additionally, this eliminates conflict within your family because they’ll know what you want – they won’t be left to guess or argue about your last wishes.
We strive to make it easy to preplan your cremation. When you call Smart Cremation to plan ahead, we’ll send a Smart Family Arranger to your home to help you make your arrangements – at a time that’s convenient to you. Alternately, you can ask questions by phone or online – whatever you’d prefer.
Cremation planning refers to the act of selecting a cremation provider before death. Not only does cremation planning inform your family of your preferred method of disposition, but it also relieves them of the responsibility of finding a cremation provider in your area.
Both funeral homes and direct cremation providers offer prepaid cremation plans. While funeral homes offer direct cremation, they have difficulty competing with the low-cost direct cremation provider. Search for a direct cremation provider in your area to find an affordable and compassionate service – such as the service offered by Smart Cremation.
The simplest and least expensive type of cremation is direct cremation. Once you have decided on cremation as a preferred method of disposition, consult with a direct cremation provider in your area. Most direct cremation providers allow you to pre-plan and prepay for services. Please fill out this online form to get a free guide from Smart Cremation.
