Specialized insurance policies designed to cover funeral expenses. These typically feature easy qualification, modest premiums, and simple application processes. The death benefit grows over time to help offset inflation.
We offer installment payment options that allow you to spread the cost over time. These plans can be tailored to fit your budget with a range of payment schedules from 12 to 60 months.

Simply contact our pre-planning specialists to discuss any changes you wish to make to your services, merchandise, or personal preferences. Depending on your funding method, there may be financial considerations for substantial changes.
No, pre-planning is appropriate for adults of all ages. In fact, younger individuals often secure the most favorable rates for funding options. Pre-planning is a responsible choice for anyone who wants to relieve their loved ones of decision-making burdens and ensure their personal wishes are honored. It's also an excellent financial planning tool, regardless of age or health status.
We provide you with documentation of your arrangements that you should share with family members or your executor. Many clients also include information about their pre-planned funeral in their will or estate documents. Additionally, we maintain secure records of all pre-planned arrangements and can provide assistance to your family when the time comes, helping to ensure all your documented wishes are fulfilled.
While we can guide you through the entire process, it's helpful to consider some basics beforehand: your preference for burial or cremation, any cultural or religious elements you want included, special music or readings you'd like, and thoughts about personalization. You might also consider information for your obituary and which family members should be involved in the pre-planning process. However, you don't need to have all answers ready—our pre-planning specialists will walk you through each step.
