When it comes to addressing end-of-life needs and services, most people know it’s important to plan ahead, but many put it off because they would rather not have to think about the topic. It’s the aim of companies such as Everest and Hyatt Legal Plans to make those necessary preparations and subsequent requirements as simple and beneficial as possible.
According to Mark Duffey, Everest’s president and CEO, most people are involved in a funeral roughly every 14 years. “They don’t want to think about it, they don’t want to do it and … most people haven’t been involved with one for a long time – if ever,” he says.
