Funeral and burial preparations can be sensitive topics. While it is normal not to want to have a conversation about what will happen after you pass away, it can still be beneficial to plan ahead. If you are contemplating the pre-planning process, purchasing a monument or headstone is a good way to start. Below, the professionals at McGee Monuments in Rochester, NY, outline three reasons why you should consider buying one in advance.

Convey a Special Message

While some headstones and monuments simply state the deceased’s name, birth date, and date of death, others have special messages written on them. If you would like to convey something special about your life on your headstone, designing and buying one in advance gives you time to write something personal and meaningful. This also saves your family from the heartache and stress of having to quickly choose a design and inscription when your time comes. Additionally, if there are any mistakes that need to be corrected, you will have plenty of time to fix them. 

Decide How Much Money to Spend

MonumentsOften, when people pass away, it is up to their family members to cover the funeral expenses, and it’s easy to underestimate the total cost of laying a loved one to rest. Depending on the design and size of your headstone or monument, the memorial alone can cost thousands. If you don’t want your remaining family members to have to worry about costs, speak to a professional about pre-ordering yours.
