Don't Hesitate with Fate
By John Spickard
One of our Founding Fathers of the United States, Benjamin Franklin, stated, “Certainty? In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes.” Without a doubt, as good ole Ben said, we are all heading towards the end of life from the day we are born, and taxes are never-ending. This article explains why it's best to plan ahead for yourself and your family. Here are a few of the best reasons why it's a smart idea to purchase your grave site in advance:
1) You will save money.
Over time, plots rise in price, just like real estate. Glade Creek Cemetery is a cost-effective community graveyard, with lower prices and often half the price of other cemeteries around the area. By picking a final resting place in advance, it will waive increased expenses such as inflation and taxes. It can be a sensible way to be prepared and pay respect forward for your family.
2) You will be able to choose the grave site.
Grave plots are not the type of real estate anyone is excited to look at, much less purchase before they’re needed, but to do so, may relieve any future worries or stress on your family when that time does arrive. Choosing your grave sites in advance will help relieve extra stress and guesswork for your family. You will be able to discuss details that you may not be aware of, such as fees, rules and regulations, and purchasing a grave liner. These prices and details can vary greatly between different cemeteries.
3) It’s a way to be prepared and a thoughtful thing to do.
Waiting until a family member passes to purchase a grave site can create added stress and confusion if there are no plans in place. Ensuring that your grave is taken care of ahead of time will help your family and loved ones by having less additional stress added on top of their existing grief. It's a smart, caring, and good thing to do in advance.
Glade Creek Cemetery is located in Blue Ridge, Virginia, with a beautiful mountain view in the backdrop. It offers well-maintained and affordable grave sites. Glade Creek Cemetery Corporation is a committed group of volunteers who meet quarterly to discuss the property's needs and maintenance and to upkeep the property.
Prepare ahead for your family, it's the right decision for your future to ease any worry, stress, and future increased costs that will happen over time. For more information you may contact these Glade Creek Cemetery committee members:
