Your funeral directive lets you dictate what happens to your body and how your life should be celebrated after you die.
For example, if you wish to donate your organs and be cremated, creating a funeral directive can help ensure your wishes are met. If you know you want your funeral to be at a church, or if there are certain people who you want to be there, your funeral directive makes it clear.
Help Your Loved Ones Through a Tough Time
Having a funeral directive allows loved ones to process their grief without having to stress about guessing your wishes for body disposition and funeral plans.
Rushing funeral decisions could result in family members picking the first options for everything, which may be the most expensive. It could also result in a funeral that you would not have wanted.
As the National Funeral Directors Association reports, the median cost of a funeral and burial is almost $8,000, and the median price for a cremation funeral is over $5,000. Pre-planning your funeral lets you control the cost as much as the events.

We are serious about security.
We’re using the AES-256 encryption method. It’s the only cipher approved by the U.S. National Security Agency for top secret information. The only way to break our security would be by a brute force attack. This means a computer has to try every possible combination of 64 characters one after another. Deciphering a single AES-256 code would take longer than the universe exists. Simply put… your data is safe.
