Being a Mason has certain member benefits that are both invaluable and inevitable to take advantage of. Worldwide Family Associates, a firm solely focused on helping families pre-plan a loved one’s funeral, is one of the resources used by Masonic Outreach Services.

We work with local, independent funeral homes to ensure you get the best experience, coupled with package pricing and superior service.
Pre-planning is important to you and your loved ones.
Here are the top reasons for why you should pre-plan:
Save Money
Times are tight for many families, unfortunately, funerals are an inevitable expense. Many funeral homes actually offer discounts to people that participate in a pre-planning service they offer. Plus, you can take your time and pay off the cost of the funeral over the course of time, rather than paying a big bill for funeral services after the fact.
Prevent Additional Stress
Your family will be under an enormous amount of stress when you or a loved one passes away. You can ease at least a little bit of it by making sure all of your affairs are in order before you die.
Have it Your Way
Of course, when you pass away, your family will work their hardest to honor you in your memorial service or funeral, but only you know yourself perfectly and know exactly what you want. When you pre-plan your funeral, you are making the decisions for yourself.
Make Your Final Wishes Known
If you want to be cremated, pre-planning allows you to arrange for this before death. If you have a specific request for your ashes, you can also make this known in your funeral plan. A lot of families that do not pre-plan have a lot of guessing and discussion around what their loved one would have wanted. We help you take the guesswork out of it.
Lift a Financial Burden
Funerals are not cheap. There are a lot of items that cost a considerable amount of money and they add up quickly. When you pre-plan, you pay for your own funeral and remove the burden of footing the bill for your funeral from the members of your family.
Take More Time
Most funerals are thrown together in about a week, which can lead to hasty decisions. When you pre-plan, you get the opportunity to be more methodical about the process.
