Why Pre-Planning Your Funeral Brings Peace of Mind

August 27, 2025

Talking about funerals is never easy, but planning ahead can be one of the kindest things you do for your family. At Max A. Sass & Sons Funeral and Cremation Service, we have seen how much stress and uncertainty pre-planning can remove. Instead of leaving your loved ones to guess what you would have wanted, you can give them a clear plan and the gift of peace of mind.

What Does Pre-Planning Mean?

Pre-planning means making your funeral or cremation arrangements before they are needed. You decide how you would like things to go, whether that is a traditional service, a small gathering, or something more personal. It gives you the chance to put your wishes in writing so your family does not have to make difficult choices during a very emotional time.

Why Families Choose to Pre-Plan

  • Less stress for your family.
    When the time comes, they will not have to make big decisions while grieving.
  • Save money.
    Pre-planning lets you lock in today’s prices and protect against future increases.
  • Make it personal.
    From favorite songs to meaningful traditions, you can create a service that reflects your life and story.
  • Peace of mind.
    Knowing it is all taken care of brings comfort to both you and your loved ones.

How We Make It Easy

At Max A. Sass & Sons, the process is simple. You can start online with our Pre-Planning Form, use our Checklist to guide you, or sit down with one of our caring directors. We also offer the Talk of a Lifetime program, a wonderful way to share memories and stories with your family that can be included in your service later. If you are not sure where to begin, we will walk with you through each step.

A Tradition of Care

Our family has been serving Milwaukee and surrounding communities since 1937. With five locations, a compassionate team, and decades of experience, we are here to support you whether you are planning ahead or need us immediately.
