I'm in my 50s and thinking about prepaying my own funeral. Is it worth it?

An attractive man in his 50s looks away from the camera. He appears thoughtful or concerned.

Question: A good friend recently died and it made me wonder, should I prepay my own funeral? Is it worth it to set up now while I'm in my 50s?

Answer: I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Sometimes it takes a loss like this to make us face our own mortality — and the costs that come with it.
