Preplanning
No one likes to think about death, let alone plan for it. But by preplanning your funeral, you relieve your family of having to make important financial decisions during a period of great stress and grief – a time when people aren't thinking very clearly and may not know what to do because you never made your wishes known.
Preplanning your funeral can be very informal and as simple as jotting down your preferences and sharing your wishes with a family member. More formal arrangements, in the form of a pre-need contract, can be set up with us. They can be pre-funded through Forethought life insurance, a bank-trust agreement or another method.
By funding your arrangements today, you can be certain your family is not burdened with funeral arrangements that may be more expensive than you wish or, perhaps, more than they can afford. On average, funeral costs increase by 100 percent every ten years. By planning ahead, you can protect your family against those increases. You can lock in today's prices and be assured that your family will not have to pay any increases in the future for the cost of your funeral.
Veterans' Benefits
Most veterans will receive a burial plot in the military cemetery and a flag from the U.S. Government as part of their benefits. However, many veterans are under the impression that the cost of a funeral or cremation is covered by veterans’ benefits. This is not the case. For further clarification, you should talk with your Funeral Director or a representative of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
