There are a number of benefits to planning your final arrangements in advance.
Pre-planning gives you, your friends and family peace of mind. If you
should die without pre-planning, the people you love will be left with
a great deal of uncertainty during an already difficult time.
Pre-planning gives them a clear idea of your intentions and desires.
Pre-planning also provides direction to the executor of your estate.
Pre-planning gives you time to make an informed decision about your funeral and cemetery services, the amount you wish to spend, and the form of services you
prefer.
Pre-planning allows you the benefit of purchasing your services
at today's prices, free from inflationary pressures in the future.
You will also gain peace of mind, knowing your family and friends
will be relieved of the financial burden often associated with making
arrangements when a death occurs.
Your payment(s) go into a Trust Fund. You will
receive a contract outlining the terms and conditions of your purchase
and your cancellation privileges. All of the terms and conditions will
be fully explained to you.

-
If your parent brings the subject up
-
If your parent is seriously ill
-
If the subject comes up naturally, say, you are visiting a cemetery
