During demanding times, CARP members can alleviate stress with end of life planning

Each day, between work, family and our own personal lives, we’re constantly trying to live life to the fullest. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that many of us put off thinking about the end of our lives any sooner than we absolutely have to. Unfortunately, because of this avoidance, more times than not, the burden of planning our funeral arrangements is left up to our friends or family.

Dignity Memorial® providers – a premier network of more than 1,600 funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers across North America – is trying to change this common practice by helping people plan for funeral and cemetery services in advance – what they call “preplanning.”

Chris Marsh, a Dignity Memorial representative, elaborates. “We understand how busy people are and how easy it is to put off thinking about something that seems so far away. However, we work with grieving families every day, and we’ve seen how preplanning final arrangements can help make a difficult time easier for families who’ve experienced a loss.”

Not only can planning and paying for funeral and cemetery services in advance help you avoid paying much higher costs in years ahead, but it’s also a very responsible, caring act that can reduce stress for your grieving loved ones. Adds Marsh, “Making decisions now about your final arrangements can also help ensure that your final wishes are honoured.”

And as an added bonus for CARP members and their families, CARP has negotiated special discounts when members use the services of any Dignity Memorial® provider. They also offer members simple and affordable ways to preplan funeral expenses and lock in today’s funeral prices to help avoid higher future costs.
