The death of a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences anyone can face. It is a time of immense grief and confusion, and the burden of making final arrangements can add to the stress.
Preplanning burial or cremation arrangements for oneself or a loved one may seem difficult. However, it is a responsible and loving gesture that offers invaluable peace of mind. It allows family members to honor and celebrate the life of their departed loved one, knowing that their wishes are being carried out as pre-arranged.
"A time of loss is a time of confusion, and final arrangements do not have to add to the uncertainty," says Andrew Schafer, Executive Director of Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. "We reach out regularly to families to inform them about the valuable benefits of preplanning."
Grieving families often attest to the appreciable difference of pre-set arrangements in easing their time of loss, adds Schafer, emphasizing that preplanning is the key to reducing this burden.
