Q. How do most people feel after making their pre- arrangements? A. Whether they opt for an insurance program to fund their services, a trust, cash or direct funds from their estate, the thing we most often hear is people feel a great sense of peace. This emanates from knowing they have protected their loved ones from one day being faced with all of these decisions. As one lovely lady said after making her pre -arrangements, "This is anoth- er way of saying I love you after I'm gone."
