in the decisions.

of those decisions at a difficult time.
For some, there may not be anyone capable or available to make the
final arrangements.
Some like the financial benefit that comes from pre-paying funeral
expenses.
Do you have to pay for anything?
There is no obligation to pre-pay for funeral expenses and the
consultation is at no charge to the family.
Many families choose to pre-pay as it can alleviate financial
concerns at the time of death, preventing an unnecessary burden at
the time of loss because it ensures funds are available when needed.
Also, many people pre-finance as the money is protected if an
individual applies for Medicaid and it also meets the criteria for
SSI eligibility.
What are pre-financing options?
There are many payment options available to suit different

funds are available at the time of death. Each policy earns interest
which is not taxable.

or part of the funeral preparations take place at another funeral
home, the plans and pre-financing are transferred to the funeral
home who provides the service.
