It is easy to think that death is something that will come later and we can figure it all out in ten years. This seems true for young people, yet tragedies such as illness, hurricanes and the unexpected can throw a wrench in our plans. We all want to live long, fulfilling lives and to think about your own burial or begin planning for family members is not something that we are inclined to pursue. Most people do not like to think about death and try to postpone this. When you are young it seems unnecessary and not urgent. However, in the back of our minds we know that people can die in accidents or for unexpected reasons such as sudden illness. There are also many baby boomers that know their parents are in their seventies and eighties but that no plan has been made. Some people are not sure if their parents have purchased a plot, plan on cremation or have taken some action. This can seem like a difficult subject to discuss and family time may avoid it. There can also be financial tensions about if one would contribute or pay for the burial of one's parents haven't arranged anything. All this can be reasons why nothing has been taken care of and the subject stays under wraps. Dealing with funeral planning is important for a number of reasons. If you haven't set up anything for yourself, who will take care of it if you become ill or there is a tragedy? Your loved ones will be very emotional at this time and to try to find documents, figure out what to do and the steps to take can be very overwhelming. On a practical level, the decisions one makes during the grief process and at the last minute will usually not be financially the best. Price comparisons will not be done and this can cause one to make poor choices. Examine if you or your loved ones have set up a will or a living will and if any arrangements have been made. Do people know what your wishes are and do you know what your family would want? The peace of mind that one has is very strong once the burial situation is set up. It eliminates the gnawing anxiety that is there but that is not faced.
