There is tremendous peace of mind given to your family when they have no doubts about your final wishes and the cost is already taken care of. This reduction of stress, allows your family to be more present and together at this difficult time.

  • How do my wishes impact my family?

    Decisions that would burden your family later are handled now. You may have specific wishes as to how you want to be memorialized. Advance planning will allow you to let your wishes be known for the type of funeral or cremation arrangement you want and will lift the burden of those difficult decisions from your family.

  • Do I save money by planning in advance?

    Funding your arrangements in advance through an independent funeral insurance policy secures the cost at today’s prices and guarantees that those costs for services and memorial products will never increase.

    Planning ahead allows you to pay for your funeral over set and specified periods of time making this option affordable for all families.

  • Is there a protections plan?

    While you are making payments there is coverage so the final burden does not fall back on the family.

  • Can my policy be transferred if I move?
