End of Life Designations

Planning for Final Arrangements

End of life designations allow you to specify your wishes for funeral arrangements, burial or cremation preferences, memorial services, and other final arrangements. This provides peace of mind for both you and your family.

Designation of Preneed Guardian

Florida law allows you to nominate who should serve as your guardian if one becomes necessary. This designation, made while you're competent, gives the court guidance if guardianship proceedings are ever needed.

Funeral and Burial Instructions

Document your preferences for burial or cremation, funeral or memorial services, religious observances, and other final arrangements. These instructions help your family honor your wishes during a difficult time.

Disposition of Remains

Florida allows you to designate who has the authority to control the disposition of your remains. Without this designation, state law determines who has that authority, which may not align with your wishes.

Reducing Family Burden

By documenting your wishes in advance, you spare your family from making difficult decisions during an emotional time. Clear instructions reduce potential conflicts and ensure your preferences are followed.
