Losing a loved one is always difficult and emotional. At this stressful time, family members are suddenly forced to make many important decisions alone. Many have found that setting aside final expenses gives them comfort in knowing that their families will have less emotional stress while grieving their loss.

Final cost estimates provide peace of mind because they allow the family to avoid facing many unanswered questions at a difficult time. For example, consider...

• How much money will you receive from Social Security?
• Will family members know where to find insurance papers and will they understand the benefits they are entitled to receive?
• If funeral preferences are not documented in advance, who is legally resonsible to make them for you?
• What Veterans Benefits will your family receive?
• Should you choose an insurance, trust or product/service arrangement?
