Death is a difficult topic for many to discuss and plan for. Preparing for oneâs death through the form of prepaid funeral arrangements can be beneficial. After an individualâs death, their assets are often inaccessible until the estate has been opened, which leaves family members needing to advance the costs of the funeral until the estate has been opened.
