What is a Cremation Plan?
A cremation plan is a written document that defines your choice of cremation for your final needs. Whether you are choosing cremation as a green funeral option, for its low cost, or for its simplicity, it is important to define and announce your wish.
A cremation plan may be as simple as a handwritten, signed piece of paper shared with your family or as formal as an estate planning document filed with your attorney. A cremation plan should:
Clearly state your choice of cremation for final needs
Identify your choice of cremation service provider
State your wish for disposition of your cremated remains
Identify any advanced payment made for cremation services
You needn’t do it alone. We’re here to help.
