I "At first I didn't want to talk about our funerals. But, now I'm glad we did." Forethought S m is funeral planning . . . before the need arises. After the fact, everything happens so fast. There's so little time and so many decisions, everyone could really feel uncomfortable. I know my family won't have that problem. They already know how my funeral is going to be and what it's going to cost because I took the time to plan what I want. I even paid the bill with the Forethought life insurance policy designed specifically for funeral planning. There's a real peace of mind that comes with having it taken care of ahead of time.
