Why is it a good idea to preplan your own funeral?

Often, the major concern for those making funeral arrangements is: What are the right choices? At the time of death, the right choices are often something only the family can determine. However, it is possible and increasingly common for a funeral to be pre-planned. An individual can make arrangements concerning his/her own service, memorialization, and final resting place prior to the actual need. Pre-planning not only allows the individual to choose his/her desired options, it relieves the family of making these decisions.
