Last week I went to a seminar in Waterloo on funeral pre-planning. Seminars like the one I attended are sponsored by Funeral Homes with two hopes: firstly that the seminar will raise your awareness of the benefits of preplanning a funeral and secondly that you will pre-plan at some point with the host Funeral Home. In addition to the presentation made by the Funeral Home, there are usually a couple of other speakers; maybe a Lawyer and a Financial Planner who attest to the benefit of pre-planning and give their advice on other estate matters.
In the past I haven’t been a huge fan of these seminars but the one I attended in Waterloo was different…it was interesting, it wasn’t pushy, the food was great and aside from the gas to get there, it was free…in fact, they all are. Sometimes Funeral Homes put FREE in bold and capital letters on the mail out invitations just to get your attention! At any rate, I came away from this seminar with a good feeling that I should do the same. I’ve already started to work on getting everything in order and I will announce the details soon. I promise that it won’t be pushy, I promise that it will be interesting, I promise that we will have some great food and I promise that it will be FREE! So, even if you’ve been to a Funeral Home seminar recently or even if you’re not interested in pre-planning right now, come out anyways because if you do decide to preplan some day you’ll be able to make better informed decisions
