Everyone should be prepared for the event of death, I have a life insurance in place and also a separate death cover for our entire family which in the event of one of us dying covers the cost of the plot, flowers, ceremony etc, it is also a policy which is paid out within 2 - 3 days, so you are not waiting around for the money. If you are unprepared it can be quite alot of money to fork out unexpectedly. It is not too costly and and for a small monthly amount, gives you peace of mind 
As for the being ready for Jesus, my own personal belief is one should have an everyday personal realationship with God and not only turn to him in times of need, but give praise to him for all the wonderful things he does in our life everday (like giving us another day), this is a poem a friend emailed to me (author unknown) and it really tells it straight.
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
