Why pre-arrange?

Pre-arranging is an important step in overall estate planning. By pre-arranging you will:

• have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family will be spared from having to make difficult decisions at a time of deep personal loss
• guarantee funeral costs at today's price, ensuring no future fees will arise
• protect life insurance and additional assets for uses other than funeral expenses
• guarantee the quality of service that you feel is most appropriate for you and your family

What do I need to ask when pre-arranging?

Pre-arranging allows you to take your time in deciding what is best for you and your family. The following are important questions to ask when pre-arranging:

• If I pay today, are the fees for my funeral guaranteed?
• Will my funds be handled by a reputable funding company?
• If my death occurs in another city will funds cover a funeral in that city, without a transferal fee?
• Will my family receive any excess funds that may be remaining once my funeral has been paid for?
