Funeral director Andre Roupp of Roupp Funeral Home believes each person and every family has a story, and he’s sharing all the ways funeral planning makes services personal and meaningful.  When advance care planning doesn’t include funeral planning, there can be fallout that makes the family’s grief journey more difficult.  Here are some highlights from Andre’s interview:

• Pre-planning a funeral can ease the immediate overwhelm of tasks that happen right after a death occurs.
• Including funeral plans in an advance care plan eases the emotional, financial, and decision-making burden for the surviving family.
• Military ceremonies can provide a personalized, respectful recognition of service.
• A lack of pre-planning can cause a lot of anxiety for a family, deepening their grief or causing discord among the family members.
