Planning with Purpose is a monthly educational series from Dallas Weekly in partnership with Mansfield Funeral Home, created to help individuals and families prepare for one of life’s most important—but often avoided—conversations. Through expert insights, practical guidance, and real-world advice, this series explores funeral planning, estate preparation, veterans’ benefits, grief resources, caregiving, legacy planning, and the financial and legal decisions that can protect the people you love.
At Dallas Weekly, we believe knowledge is one of the greatest gifts you can leave your family. Whether you’re planning for yourself, helping aging parents, or simply beginning the conversation, Planning with Purpose provides trusted information to help you make informed decisions before they’re needed. Because planning ahead isn’t about preparing for death—it’s about protecting your legacy, preserving your wishes, and giving your loved ones the gift of peace of mind.
