Definition
Programs that enable people to make advance arrangements for their funeral service and/or burial. Preplanning allows an individual to specify their wishes regarding the type of funeral service they prefer (green or conventional, religious or secular, public or private), the music, poems and readings they would like included in a service, the speakers, pallbearers or other individuals they would like to have as participants, people they would especially like to invite, the personal information they would like to have shared in an obituary, the type of funeral and burial accessories (caskets, urns, gravestones) they prefer and their preferences regarding the disposition of their remains. People also have the option of purchasing a burial plot or crypt and paying other funeral/burial expenses (or making other financial arrangements) in advance.
