Reflect on what you’d like your funeral to be like.

While so many of us ask big questions about what happens when we die, it can be easy for Southeast Texas seniors to forget to ask questions that will capture the way we lived and help our friends and family celebrate our life and honor our memory.

Take time to think about the type of funeral services that you would want to celebrate or otherwise memorialize your life. Consider the tone and atmosphere of the services. Are they somber? Traditional? Celebratory? Will they reflect your unique interests and personality? What will the experience be like for the guests in attendance? Answering these questions will help you begin to make the funeral selections that are right for you.

Record your Southeast Texas funeral plans for loved ones and your funeral director.

Once Southeast Texas seniors have reflected on and determined wishes for your funeral arrangements, actually recording your wishes is the best way to ensure they will be carried out. Whether stored on paper or electronically, your recorded wishes will allow your loved ones to act on your behalf. And, just as you keep your will and financial documents updated, you should review and update your funeral and cemetery plans if necessary as well.

If you choose to use the Personal Planning Guide from Forest Lawn Funeral Home Beaumont, it’s easy to record your wishes by filling in the pages and answering the questions presented. With our online planning tool, your selections and wishes are recorded and stored electronically online. You can even save your plan in progress and come back later to add more details.

Share your funeral plan with loved ones.

After you’ve recorded your funeral plans, it’s important to share them with loved ones so they’ll be able to carry out your wishes.

Keep your funeral plans safe but accessible. It’s a common mistake to store them in a safe deposit box. At the time of your death, a safe deposit box only in your name may not be accessible to others until the legal matters of your estate have been settled. This process may not be resolved until after your final arrangements are carried out.

Instead, there are several ways you can make your plans accessible. If you choose to use the Personal Planning Guide, notify your family of its location or provide them with their own copy. If you have selected a funeral provider and made arrangements with them, your provider will also keep your plans on file.

Forest Lawn Beaumont has Southeast Texas funeral advisors who can sit down with you and designated loved ones to assist in coordinating the sharing process and helping you ensure all of your loved ones are on the same page.

Sharing your plan is also easy with Forest Lawn Beaumont’s online planning tool. Once your account is activated, the friends or family members you designate will receive packets outlining your selections. If you select a funeral provider through the online planning tool, the funeral home also will receive a copy of your plan and will keep it on file.

Support your pre-planned funeral arrangements.

Finally, support your plans with funding if you choose. By relieving your family of the need to pay for your funeral services at the time of your death, you may prevent additional stress for them at an already difficult time. Funding your plans also provides protection against inflation. By locking in today’s prices, your loved ones will not have to pay more for your selected merchandise and services at the time of your death.

Work with a Forest Lawn Beaumont funeral advisor to review your Personal Planning Guide, understand your funding options, and put your plans on file. If you use our online planning tool, built-in real-time cost estimates let you know how much funding would be needed today, and an estimate of how much may be needed in the future, to fund your selections.

It’s important to work with your Dignity Memorial provider to understand the laws and regulations that protect preneed funds in your state. When you fund your prearrangements with a Dignity Memorial provider, you can rest assured that your funds are safe and secure.

No matter what your wishes are for your Southeast Texas funeral plans, recording them and sharing them with your loved ones will help ensure that your final arrangements will be what you want, while easing the burden on your family and friends.
