Slightly morbid question
Have you prepaid any of your funeral expenses?
Last night MH and I picked our burial plots. I think we're picking our headstone today. It's kind of weird. BUT, like the guy told us, it's going to be so much cheaper to do it now (Where we're paying $2300 for our plots and vault now, if we had bought them 10 years ago, they would have been $800, so in 10 more years, they will probably be over $4000)...
After we pay for our plots, we're going to go prepay our funerals.
Re: Slightly morbid question
I used to think that doing that would be kind of a curse (like if I did it, then I would die because it was something that was taken care of). BUT after FIL and BIL's death...when we had to pick where they would be buried (although FIL had already paid for his plot and marker) and pick out BIL's marker...I could never EVER let anyone in my family go through that. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. So, to save my parents/my husband/my future children from having to do it, I was happy to take care of it. And, this is kind of morbid, it was actually kind of fun to do. And we made sure we got what we wanted.
I know some people that have planned and some that haven't so I understand both sides. I do have plenty of life insurance though that will cover the costs so I am happy with that for now.
That's exactly what we were thinking as well.
