Pre-planning brings peace of mind

Talking about death is hard, especially when it involves your own passing. But it’s a conversati­on everyone should have.

For most people, the funeral planning process is a mystery. If the death is sudden, things unfold in a hurry with lots of tough and expensive choices to be made quickly. If the death is expected, there’s more time to plan, but the financial decisions are just as difficult.

As difficult as it may be, some form of pre-planning makes it a lot easier later on. Pre-planning ensures the bulk of the costs are paid for up front and guaranteed, despite the passage of time and inflation. Planning ahead also means you can outline your personal preference­s, ensuring you head into the hereafter just the way you want.

There are a number of financial and practical reasons to preplan your arrangemen­ts with Hamilton Municipal Cemeteries, but the most important reason to do so is to ensure that all your cemetery needs are taken care of so that they are not a burden to loved ones after you are gone.
