It’s your funeral. Don’t you at least deserve to know how much it will cost?

Of all the details surrounding funeral service, price is usually the most confusing—sometimes deliberately so. Planning Daisies’ online planning tool aims to change this. Visit preplan.today to check it out.

It promises a free cost estimate and funeral plan in as little as five minutes, and it delivers amazingly well on both counts.

Wherever, whenever

I should probably make this clear—planning ahead has never been my strong suit. I’m spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment, carefree. The point is, I like to quickly take care of the details so I can focus on making the most of the present. 

And then there are folks like my partner, who likes to analyze everything. She had already given her funeral plan a lot of thought. In fact, it was a discussion about her preferences that got me thinking about pre-planning in the first place.  

The beauty of the online planning tool is that it works for both of us. It’s fast and easy to use, but the questions are also worth pondering. This is a pretty important decision after all.

So whether you take your time or simply check off the boxes, it comes as a relief to know we all wind up in the same place—with the reassurance that you have a clear plan for your loved ones after you pass.

Not to mention you can do it all from the comfort of your home.

Decoding funeral service

One of the most surprising things about the online planning tool is what you learn. For example, my father had no idea what a visitation was or why he might want one. He was also a little foggy on the difference between a memorial service, a funeral, and a celebration of life.

Yet by the time he got his estimate, everything had been clearly explained in a way that made it easy to understand.

For someone with very little experience with funeral service, the experience felt like a kind, friendly introduction. It had none of the stuffiness sometimes associated with funeral homes.

Which brings me to the local funeral home part. Planning Daisies has partnered with exceptional funeral homes across the country offering friendly, warm service to their communities. We’ll help you find the right place to take your business once you finish your online plan.

How it works

Getting started with the online planning tool is easy. You begin with the first question that comes to everyone’s mind when they begin planning a funeral, “Do you prefer burial or cremation?”

From there, you can choose the material you would like for your casket or urn. Next, you can select several funeral essentials, including flowers, an obituary, death certificates, and memorial packages.

And then it gets interesting. 

When folks first think about planning a funeral, they mainly think about burial or cremation. They don’t spend much time thinking about why their loved ones might benefit from a service. When you start answering the last few questions of the planner, you might stop worrying about what you want and start reflecting on what your loved ones need.

By the time you’re done, you’ll have an estimate in hand, along with a meaningful plan. But more than that you’ll have a blueprint for how you can help your loved ones begin to heal.
