Create a Sense of Urgency
Funerals are difficult services to plan as well as very costly. Many people, especially first time planners, are shocked to discover just how costly funeral expenses can get. Everyone deserves to hold a meaningful and beautiful funeral service for their loved one, regardless of ability to pay all of the various expenses and costs. If you have recently lost a loved one in your life and are struggling to find a way to pay for the service, then you are not alone. Plenty of people struggle to figure out how they will pay for their loved one’s funeral service. One of the simplest and most effective ways that you can ensure that you are able to pay for your loved one’s funeral service is by asking for donations. There is nothing wrong with asking for donations, especially if you are on a strict and tight budget. When asking for donations, we recommend creating a sense of urgency so that your friends and family understand just how urgent and important this money is for your loved one’s funeral service. It could be a good idea to let everyone know of a specific deadline that you need all of your donations by. By creating that sense of urgency, you are ensuring that your friends and family will jump into action and be proactive in trying to help you afford a meaningful service for your loved one.
Break Down Costs
Next, a great way to encourage your friends and family to donate is by breaking down all of the various costs that you will need to pay for. People are more inclined to donate when they fully understand where their money is going exactly, so it could be a good idea to inform your friends and family where their money is going as soon as you receive their individual donation. We suggest spending some time assessing all of the details and costs so that you are able to give everyone a clear idea of where their money is going toward.
