I think it makes sense to make your wishes known. I have seen arguments break out over what the deceased should wear and where to have the funeral, and debates over burial vs. cremation. You might also want to choose hymns and Bible verses. Prepaying for a burial site also seems practical to me.

∙ 11y agoFirst off, please note pre-planning a funeral does not mean pre-paying. It simply means putting your funeral preferences down in writing and sharing them so your wishes will be honored when the time comes.
With that said, everyone should pre-plan their funeral! There are huge advantages to making difficult, yet inevitable decisions without stress, grief, confusion, or time limitations. By pre-planning, you have the luxury of thinking about all of your options and making the choices that best fit your preferences.
The process of pre-planning a funeral is relatively simple, too and does not cost any money. First, choose a funeral home. You can compare prices by asking local funeral homes to provide you with their General Price Lists or by doing a quick online comparison at eFuneral.com - on that website you can compare funeral home prices, ratings, and reviews for free.
Once you've chosen a funeral home, sit down with family members and your funeral director and provide necessary information for the death certificate and family information for the death notice (if desired), decide on the type of services you want, the products you need, and as many other funeral-related details as you would like to select ahead of time. This information is recorded and saved by the funeral home staff and copies are provided to you, your next-of-kin (who is responsible for executing your funeral), and anyone else you'd like to have that information. Please note, after your death, your next-of-kin may make changes to the funeral arrangements you have chosen. If you do not want the arrangements to be changed, you should speak with an attorney about the legal documents needed to protect against changes.
