Unfortunately, scams that target grieving families are more common than many people realize.

Moments of loss, stress, or emotional exhaustion can sometimes make people more vulnerable to identity theft and financial fraud, which is why taking small steps to protect your personal information ahead of time may be worth considering.

One option some people choose is placing a credit freeze with the major credit bureaus. A credit freeze may help limit access to your credit report, which can make it more difficult for someone to open new accounts in your name. Freezes are generally free and do not affect your credit score or your ability to use existing credit cards.

If you’d like to learn more or place a freeze, visiting the credit bureaus’ websites directly is typically the fastest option.

One important reminder… if you plan to apply for a new loan or credit line, you’ll typically need to temporarily unfreeze your credit beforehand.

Memorial Day is a pause. A moment to remember those who gave their lives in service to something greater. And the families who carry that legacy forward.

It’s not a day for noise. It’s a day for perspective. Time. Relationships. The freedoms we often move through without thinking.

Days like this can bring a different kind of clarity. A reminder of what actually matters. Remembering with gratitude.
