Estate planning and Funeral Wishes

Today I have a client that passed away and they are wondering about funeral arrangments. One of the important things is to include your funeral wishes into your will or Living Trust document.

In our estate planning documents, we include funeral arrangements because often times, a loved one is unsure of what wishes the deceased peron wants or desires. Death is a difficult topic to discuss with your spouse or loved ones.

Generally, funeral arrangements vary from a funeral to cremation and whether the deceased person wants to donate their organs. These are difficult and often neglected questions that may be answered by your estate plan.
