As people get older in life, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s they have probably had to deal with the death of parents or other loved ones. These times were probably very hard if the deceased had made no prearrangement, and you were unsure what to do about funeral plans. First of all, did the deceased have life insurance or other money? Did they leave wishes known to anyone about burial, cremation, etc. Had they purchased a burial plot? At least it is easier to know what funeral home to use, because the family usually uses the same one historically.
It is important for you to do your family, friends and yourself a favor by doing Prearranged Funerals Middletown. Your needs should be put on paper, and one or two people need to know where that paper might be. Included on that paper should be information about your life insurance policies, and where they are located. You should list your desired funeral arrangements, i.e.: funeral home or church, officiant, burial, cremation or crypt. Are these facilities already purchased, where are they located, are the opening fees paid for, and the accompanying paperwork located. It would be helpful to write information for your own obituary including academic history, spouse and children’s names, siblings names, past jobs, personal interests. Nothing can be more hurtful to a relative than to have the name of a relative left out of the paper’s obituary. Maybe you want to leave a picture to memorialize yourself in the paper.
While you are thinking about your final arrangements, it would be wise to contact your attorney to make up a will or update your will. You should also have a Living Will and someone designated as a power of attorney. This person needs to know where all of your important papers are located, and they should be instructed to take care of notification to the Social Security Administration.

One final point you need to consider when making your final arrangements, that being if you have pets you will need to have plans for someone who will make a new home for them who will love them and help them grieve too.
