Best pre-need planning tips.

In this Smart Life Podcast episode, Linda Galindo sits down for a powerful bilingual conversation about best pre-need planning tips, one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your family: clarity, preparation, and peace.

Together with seasoned professionals Jesse Ruiz (Funeral Director & Embalmer) and Miguel Ángel Briseño (Pre-Need Counselor), we break down the difference between pre-need and at-need, how to avoid family conflict during emotional moments, and why understanding next-of-kin laws, advanced directives, and power of attorney is essential for every household.

We also explore the emotional and financial impact of planning ahead, the reality of inflation and rising funeral costs, and the practical benefits of having a travel plan that brings a loved one home from anywhere in the world — an option many families don’t even know exists.

This is an honest, approachable Spanglish discussion created with our community in mind — con amor, claridad y mucha información práctica.
