Conclusion The advantage of advanced funeral planning makes sense for many individuals and goes beyond cost savings. For many families, advanced funeral planning provides an important opportunity to talk about sensitive issues and concerns that might otherwise have gone unspoken. It also allows the family to decide together which funeral options will be most meaningful to them. In many ways, advanced funeral planning allows families to lay the foundation for a faster process in the future. As death care professionals, sharing the knowledge and encouragement needed to make these end-of-life decisions is paramount to the success of the preneed industry. Advanced funeral planning is a broad subject and must be conveyed in terms that the consumer can understand; additionally, it must be presented in a way that will best benefit him or her. Although advanced funeral plans serve a very important purpose, their exact benefits, limitations, and risk factors are not always well described in broad or common language by providers and/or agents. This oversight on the part of the funeral professional means that consumers are not always made aware of the advantages or the risks of prepaid funeral plans, or the specifications put in place by many states. Therefore, learning and sharing expertise in the area of advanced planning and/or knowing how to direct a consumer will not only benefit the insured but will also fortify the empathy and compassion that the death care industry was formed upon.
