It also alleviates the emotional and financial burden on your loved ones during a time of grief, as they won't be faced with making difficult decisions or bearing unexpected expenses. Additionally, most plans offer flexible payment options and secure your funds in a trust, ensuring they are protected and available when needed, simplifying end-of-life arrangements for everyone involved.
