When to update your will
T
here are many occurrences that require an update to estateplanning documents. A will is your ironclad way to disperse your assets to loved ones as you wish. Here are a few of the top reasons you may need to update this important document.
Changes in financial situation There may come a time where you decide to increase or decrease the inheritance you are leaving behind for loved ones. For instance, if you receive a large sum of money, it’s possible to alter your will to add a new beneficiary or make an increase towards those currently on your list. On the other hand, if you experience financial misfortune, it’s necessary to adjust the document to pay out less and ensure your estate’s obligations can still be met.
Changes in tax laws It can be hard to stay up to date on constantly changing tax laws, but it’s necessary to keep your final document in good legal standing. Especially if your will takes actions to address estate tax issues, it’s a good idea to receive periodic reviews by a professional attorney.
Ask for advice Don’t be afraid to ask your legal expert for advice on other moments that may benefit your last will and testament. Remember, this document is incredibly important to keep accurate as it articulates your vision and solidifies your legacy.

How to choose a funeral home
T
he emotional pain and suffering that occurs when a loved one dies can be crippling. And often the closest family members hurting the most must also deal with difficult responsibilities like choosing the right funeral home. Choosing a funeral home is never an easy process. But there are ways to make this difficult decision a little bit easier on you and your family. Here are some tips to help make choosing the right funeral home less stressful.
Compare Prices If you have had to make funeral arrangements in the past, you may be tempted to just go with the funeral home you have experience with. While this may be a smart option for some people, it's not always the right option. Depending on how long it's been since you needed to make funeral arrangements for a loved one, the price of that particular funeral home may have gone up. That's why it is wise to shop around and compare the prices of the various funeral homes in your community.
Ask For References From Friends Even if you have never had to choose a funeral home in the past, you may have a friend or two who has. Ask these friends if they would recommend the services provided at the funeral homes they have used. They may be able to share valuable information about the staff, facility and prices of a specific funeral home.

Ask About Packages Whether your deceased loved one had a specific list for their final wishes or you have to make these decisions for yourself, it is important that you ask a potential funeral home what types of packages they offer. You will find that not all funeral homes are created equal, and each offers their own different ways of handling a service. No matter what type of requirements you have, it is best to choose a funeral home that will cater to your specific needs in order to make this difficult situation a little less daunting.
Final resting places
Caring Staff
Burial
When visiting a potential funeral home, the funeral director can be a major deciding factor when you choose whether or not to use this particular company to handle the funeral of your loved one. A caring and professional funeral director and staff will take the time to explain all your options in an empathetic way so you can make a better choice when choosing a funeral home. If the director seems short or uninterested in your needs or makes you feel like you and your deceased loved one aren't important, you won't want to choose this facility to handle the funeral
The burial process comes with plenty of issues to consider, the first being convenience. Families choosing burials may do so to ensure they can visit
Many people choose burials; others cremation. Either way, you should be comfortable with your final resting place. Consider your family’s needs and preference because,they are the ones who will be visiting your gravesite or, likely, possess your urn. Some options:
the body for years to come. Nature also is an important part of the cemetery experience, so finding one with beautiful landscaping or expansive forestry can help provide a peaceful, natural environment for family members and friends to visit.
the spreading of your ashes across the ocean, mountaintop or river. Pay attention to any local, state and federal regulations that may govern the distribution of your ashes.
Cremation
A marker that bears the name, dates of life and loving inscription can help loved ones reminisce over fond memories and shared experiences. You can plan ahead of time to customize a marking with specific colors, shapes and sizes. And don’t forget to get creative with the design.
The cremation choice is popular because of its convenience and the opportunity for family members to display a decorative urn holding the ashes of their loved one. If an urn isn’t your top option, you could always plan a special day that includes
of your loved one. While dealing with the death of a loved one is hard, choosing the right funeral home can help relieve you of some stress.
Consider a Marking
