Legally, there is no requirement for a funeral service. However, when someone dies, their body must be disposed of safely. In most cases, this is through cremation or burial.
That means that even if you don’t want the fuss of a ceremony when you die, your family or friends will still have to make arrangements and pay for a cremation or burial.
Taking care of these costs in advance with a funeral plan allows you to pay for the costs at today’s prices and means your loved ones won’t have to find the money when the time comes.
