Dying Matters Awareness: The Funeral Preplanning Guide
Today marks the start of an unusual event in the UK – Dying Matters Awareness Week. The national awareness week is said to be a tool for encouraging people to talk openly about death, dying, and bereavement — topics that many often label taboo. Incidentally, Valley of Life believes talking about death-related topics is extremely healthy and even has a new resource that’s a perfect supplement to the discussion.
Miri Rossitto just released The Funeral Preplanning Guide, an easy-to-use handbook for prearranging funerals. Did you know every year thousands of people overpay for funerals? It’s true. And for most Americans, a funeral is the third largest purchase they’ll make in their lifetime.
That’s why The Funeral Preplanning Guide aims to help you:
- Save money on services and products, including caskets, burial locations, and more.
- Decide how your body will be prepared, handled, and preserved.
- Avoid mistakes and anxiety by thinking deeply about what you want ahead of time.
- Avoid common pitfalls and sneaky loopholes in prepaid plans.
- Protect your survivors from shady funeral directors.
Additionally, the guide will bring peace of mind to your survivors by eliminating many of the decisions they will have to make following your death.
Frankly, topics surrounding death need to be more openly discussed. Many people stand to benefit from approaching dying as they would any other major life event — with care and thoughtfulness. Dying Matters Awareness Week is a great idea, and we hope many take advantage of the opportunity.
