Why Pre-Planning Your Funeral is an Act of Love with Frances Cangero
Episode 217
Monday, 2 February, 2026
Nobody wants to talk about death - until they’re sitting in a funeral home, numb, grieving, and trying to guess what their loved one would have wanted. This episode pulls back the curtain on a topic most families avoid, even though avoiding it often creates more pain, confusion, and guilt later. Stacy sits down with Frances Cangero, director of advanced planning at the Frank Campbell Funeral Chapel, to talk honestly about funeral pre-planning, why it’s actually an act of love, and how having these conversations early can spare your family emotional and financial stress when it matters most. You’ll hear them discuss: Why funeral planning is one of the most overlooked parts of estate planning How grief makes decision-making harder and why planning ahead changes everything The real story behind burial vs. cremation and why more families are choosing cremation Common misconceptions about pre-planning, including the idea that it’s “only for the elderly” How much flexibility exists in funeral planning, from simple services to deeply personal details What prepaying actually means, how pricing is protected from inflation, and where the money is held Why keeping ashes without a plan can unintentionally pass stress to the next generation How family conflict can arise when wishes aren’t clearly documented The importance of naming someone with legal authority to control final arrangements Why having these conversations is a gift to the people you love - not something morbid or scary Resources Frances Cangero on Frank E.
