Pre-Planning Options

While people spend months planning events like weddings and trips, few think about the one event that is certain to happen – their death. Although most people do not want to think about their own mortality, the time to pre-plan your funeral is now. The primary advantage of pre-arranging your funeral is to relieve the burden of burial expenses on your loved ones in an emotional time and to ensure your funeral is carried out according to your wishes, eliminating the task of second-guessing what you would have wanted. Another is to control the cost of funeral services. Pre-arrangements can always be changed and information and choices can be updated over time. Pre-planning and pre-paying your funeral is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give to your family.

Pre-Payment Options

Pre-paying for your funeral reduces stress and financial burden on your loved ones after your passing. Payment options include single payment plans or multi-payment plans to suit your needs. In addition to easing the financial impact of burial expenses on your family, pre-funding also protects you and your family from the inflation of the services and merchandise you choose. If at the time of death there are more funds than needed for the burial costs, the excess funds are returned to the named beneficiary. These plans are designed to be flexible and to accommodate the many changes that often occur in people’s lives.
