LEE DAVIDSON Advanced Planning Director Q. Who needs to be involved? A. Funeral planning is an important part of overall estate planning, but not always an easy subject to discuss with family. However, when setting up your pre-arrangement plans it is always advisable to include your family and loved ones in the process. The input of family members will help you better understand what they might need and how they will cope with the loss. Likewise, your loved ones will hear what your thoughts are and truly understand what are important aspects of your final wishes. Open communication is key to ensuring that all family members feel heard are on the same page and understand what is being put in place. This will help to reduce tension or misunderstandings at a time when emotions are heightened. A pre-arrangement policy is a loving gesture that your family will appreciate, especially when they have been invited to be a part of the process.
