Really? Your children know what to do when you die? Are they professionals in the field of death care?
How are they going to know what to do? Have you discussed your plans with them? Have you told them whether or not you’re going to be cremated or have a traditional burial with a casket in a grave?
Are you really the type of parent that would actually place that burden on your child/children?
You may say: “I’ve left enough life insurance behind that will take care of everything.”
Guess what? Insurance makes no decisions, insurance does not stop inflation, insurance was never intended to go towards burial and or cremation expenses.
Didn’t you purchase life insurance so that your spouse and or surviving family members would be comfortable financially after you have passed away?
Children have no clue what’s involved meeting with a funeral director on the darkest day of their lives. No clue at all.
Think twice before you place this burden on your children. Or better yet, just go ahead and get it done. Plan your funeral in advance, pay for it, and get it off your plate. You are going to die!
