Perhaps one of the most
important reasons for pre-planning is that it guarantees that rational decisions can be
made ahead of time. For example, you can identify the type of funeral service you prefer,
the type of music to be played, and the style of clothes you would prefer to be buried in.
The pre-planning process also helps to document the footsteps of your life. For example,
you can record family history, academic and career achievements, employment history, or
important Armed Forces or Veterans information. The process and the forms used in pre-planning
also allow you take a "personal" inventory of where important documents are located.
For your convenience, Caldwell and Cowan has compiled the following list of items that may be
helpful as you begin to gather important information:
- Personal Biography - date and place of birth, education, employment history
- Family Background- Immediate and distant relatives names and addresses
- Important Documents - birth certificate, marriage certificate, mortgages, deeds
- Will information - location, executor or personal representative, beneficiaries
- Social Security information - number, recent account updates
- Armed Forces or Veterans Information - dates of service, Branch, Wars/Conflicts
- Insurance Policies Information - medical, life, disability, funeral, company name
- Funeral Service Instructions - pre-arranged and pre-funded, burial vs. cremation
Simply gathering important papers and documenting valuable personal information can greatly reduce the confusion
and stress associated with the death of a loved one.
