Funeral Planning Without a Financial Commitment

CHICAGO, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As the trend in funerals moves away from traditional services to highly personalized Celebrations of Life, more people are designing their funeral ceremonies well before they need them. Rather than meeting with a funeral director, many are using online funeral planners to record their wishes. At Funeralwise.com, visitors to the site can use the "Wise Planning System," a free, do-it-yourself system that makes funeral planning quick, easy, and cost-effective.

Funeralwise.com, the leader in providing free information on funerals, has recently added new tools to its "Wise Planning System." Over 50,000 funeral plans have been created using the Funeralwise system. Users record how they want their final celebration handled with as much or as little detail as they wish. A basic plan can take as little as a few minutes to complete. Since Funeralwise does not sell funeral services, users can create a funeral plan without entering into a "preneed" funeral contract and without making a financial commitment in advance.

According to Rick Paskin, the Managing Director of Funeralwise, "The best time to plan your funeral is before you need it! Our Wise Planning System puts you in control of your end-of-life plans. You decide if you want to choose funeral providers now or later and whether to make financial arrangements in advance. Everyone's situation is different. We provide all the tools you need, you decide how to use them."

The free Wise Planning System includes:

    --  Funeral choices for interment arrangements and services.
    --  Detailed options for ceremony elements such as music and readings.
    --  The ability to store personal information for eulogies, obituaries, or
        estate planning.
    --  Directories of funeral homes, cremation services, celebrants,
        cemeteries, and services for pet loss.
    --  Instant quotes for funeral insurance and final expense advisory
        services.
    --  Cost estimates for your funeral plan selections that are based on
        industry averages.
    --  The ability to designate someone to take care of your wishes.

According to Mr. Paskin, "We recognize that most people don't get excited about planning their funeral. At the same time, many of us want to make sure that we don't leave our loved ones guessing about what we would want when the time comes. We often hear about family disagreements when a funeral needs to be arranged without a pre-existing plan. Our planner gives everyone the ability to record their preferences without making a big financial investment."

Visitors to Funeralwise.com will find a full range of funeral-related information. The popular "Word to the Wise Guides" are free downloads covering a variety of topics such as funeral etiquette, cremation, and how to save money on funerals. The website also features a Forums section where users can post questions, interact with experts, and read topical articles about funeral trends and issues.
