A death has occurred, leaving a family member or friend to make all the difficult decisions of arranging a funeral. Coping with the loss of a loved one is always difficult. Most have little idea of what is involved, what the costs are, and, most importantly, what final arrangements the deceased would have wanted. But this situation can be easily avoided by making your funeral arrangements ahead of time.
In short, Jewish funeral pre planning relieves this burden from your family.
