Planning your funeral arrangements in advance can offer you and your family a number of benefits:

Emotional Benefits

• More Time to Consider Your Options - You and your family will have time to research your options and make well-informed decisions, without feeling rushed.
• A Sense of Accomplishment - You'll feel good knowing that these arrangements have been taken care of.
• Fewer Family Concerns - Your surviving family members will have less to worry about in the event of your death.

Financial Benefits

• The Option to Prepay - When you prepay, you can lock in today's prices. Our funeral director will explain each payment method and investment option available, and will help you make a decision that best suits you and your family.
• Your Family Keeps More - When you prepay, your estate will owe nothing on funeral expenses. More of your assets and life insurance proceeds will go directly to your family.
• Save the Amount You Need - Once you gain an understanding of all the costs involved, you can earmark a portion of your savings to cover those costs.
• Fewer Last-minute Expenses - When you plan in advance, your family is less likely to incur additional expenses at the time of the funeral.
• Protect Your Assets - A pre-funded funeral can be deemed irrevocable to qualify for Medicaid for a nursing home or assisted living. This allows you to exclude funeral expenses as an asset.
