Embrace Peace of Mind

We all wish for a peaceful end-of-life that allows us to focus on enjoying time with loved ones without causing them further emotional or financial stress. Funeral preplanning is a crucial step in that direction. While having an estate plan with life insurance or a trust is important, it doesn't cover the specific details of your final farewell.

Preplanning funeral arrangements may seem like a solemn task, but taking control of your final wishes is an act of love and consideration for those you leave behind. You can relax knowing you've got everything sorted out - preplanning your funeral in advance means your legacy is in good hands, easing the burden on your family members.

Take your time to consider what is truly important to you. Whether it's a specific ceremony, personalized rituals, or unique elements, your choices will be honored when the time comes. Think about the music, readings, and even the location that would make your farewell truly special.

They helped my mother and me with the preplanning and were very caring and attentive to our needs. After my father passed, they helped us with the details and made our experience a blessed event. The communication, the quality of the service, and the loving, caring support exceeded our expectations. The service programs, videos, and other extras that were included with our package were all high-quality and have left us with very special memories and mementos. Thank you all for providing such excellent service and making a difficult time in our lives so much easier.

We preplanned and prepaid for the services for my Mom. Everything went very smoothly. I recommend using the preplanning service as the time of grief can be overwhelming if you don't have a plan. Everyone at Twin Cities cremation was great, very professional, and comforting.

My father shared with me that when he was preplanning, he found the staff very patient, understanding, and empathetic. I can say that after my father passed, I was treated in the same manner, and I am grateful for their understanding, patience, and empathy during a trying time. It's not a pleasant subject to discuss, but the staff provided a comforting and empathetic experience.

They were there to preplan my dad's final wishes. When he passed, they were there to help our family carry out those wishes in every way. The funeral director guided us through the process. They are an amazing company, and I can’t recommend them enough. Their entire team is amazing! It takes very special people to help (you) through the loss of a loved one, and they are.

My mom reached out to the funeral home and immediately got a response and an appointment with the funeral director. He went over my grandma's policy with her in great detail and assured her. Once Grandma died, we got a call from the Funeral Director, who brought us in and took great care in explaining the next steps of Grandma's journey. They absolutely made our experience positive and allowed us to grieve without any extra stress.

Funeral & Cremation Preplanning FAQs

Planning a funeral can vary in time depending on the arrangements and the individual's preferences.  It can take a few days to a few weeks to finalize all the details. However, with funeral preplanning, you can take your time to make decisions at your own pace, ensuring everything is in place well in advance.

The cost of a funeral can vary widely based on factors such as the type of service, casket choice, burial or cremation, and location.

According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), the median cost of a funeral with a viewing and burial in 2023 was approximately $8,300 (not including a burial vault, which adds another $1,695). To learn more about the average funeral costs and factors that influence pricing, read our Ultimate Guide to Funeral Costs.

Similar to funerals, the cost of cremation can vary based on the type of cremation, urn selection, and whether you choose a memorial service. The NFDA reports the average cost of a cremation with a viewing in 2023 was about $6,280. Our Ultimate Guide to Funeral Costs also includes detailed information on cremation expenses.

Preplanning funeral arrangements can often be more cost-effective than arranging a funeral at the time of need. This is because you can lock in current prices and avoid future price increases.  Additionally, prepaid funeral plans allow you to spread out payments over time, making it easier to manage financially. You can learn more about the benefits of preplanning a funeral in our article.

Afterall offers flexible payment options for preplanned funerals to to help you and your family members save money. You can pay in full with cash or a credit card or spread out the cost over time with a convenient installment plan.

Generally, prepaid funeral plans and arrangements cannot be altered after the individual has passed away. This is because the funds have already been allocated, and vendor contracts have been finalized. However, it's essential to discuss any specific concerns or potential changes with your funeral planner beforehand.
