How does pre need work?

Purchase Your Life Insurance Policy

We’ll work closely with you and an independent Funeral Director or Pre-arrangement Counselor to help you purchase an insurance policy with a payment plan to fit any budget. Pre-need insurance policies are guaranteed to issue and designed to finance funeral pre-arrangements. Little or no health information is required.

Assign The Benefits Of Your Policy To A Funeral Home

Pay upfront with a single premium payment or fund your funeral expenses with a monthly payment plan. Unlike bank deposits, proceeds from your pre-need insurance policy are tax-exempt.

Get Peace of Mind

Prearranging allows you to express your wishes; pre-need insurance allows you to control expenses and pay for final arrangements. Provide your family some relief associated with the emotional burden that accompanies funeral arrangements. When it’s time, the benefits from your policy will be paid directly to the servicing funeral home.

Funding is an important part of preplanning

Taking care of your funeral expenses ahead of time is an important part of preplanning. Not only does it make it easier for your loved ones, it can give you reassurance knowing your final wishes will be carried out. When you fund your funeral, you join millions of Americans who have made the same thoughtful decision.

How do I plan my funeral arrangements?

With Pay for Funeral Preneed insurance, you’ll work directly with a funeral home to make decisions about your funeral before your death. This means you still get to choose the funeral home of your choice and work with a funeral home director who knows you, your family, and your final wishes.

A single premium means this policy’s death benefit helps fund your funeral. The policy can be assigned to your funeral home, which will then own the rights and receive the death benefit as payment to cover your funeral expenses.

Why Choose a Pre-need Insurance Policy?

A pre-need policy with pay for funeral is designed to cover the rising costs of final expenses, offset inflation, and guarantee the price of a funeral service. By establishing your funeral plan now, your loved ones don’t have to worry about making tough decisions or payment in the future.

 

  •       Relieve family members of the emotional burden, the stress, and the anxiety that accompany funeral arrangements.
  •       Multiple payment plans available with low minimum monthly payments.
  •       Make informed decisions, express your own wishes and help your family avoid emotional overspending during such a difficult time.
  •       In most cases, a policy that is irrevocably assigned will not be counted as an asset if you attempt to qualify for Medicaid.
  •       Fund your funeral costs on monthly payment plans or with a single premium payment. Insurance policies are 100% portable to any funeral home of the owner’s choice.
  •       Making arrangements in advance will make the process less difficult for your loved ones because your important information (SSN, DOB, family information, birthplace, military info, etc.) will be on file.

 

Insurance designed to fund your preplanned funeral

Funeral homes choose to place their families’ preplanning dollars in safe and secure insurance policies designed specifically for funding funerals. Preneed insurance:

  • Allows you to pay for tomorrow’s expenses with today’s dollars
  • Fights the effects of inflation because the death benefit grows over time
  • Stays with you if you move or change funeral homes
  • Lets you leave other insurance benefits to your loved ones
  • Is protected by the strength of the company itself

The benefits of preplanning are far-reaching — from the emotional comfort it can bring to your loved ones, to the relief from financial strain it can provide during their time of grief.

Pros and Cons of Pre-need Insurance

Pros
Cons
You plan your end-of-life services so others don't have to while you’re alive
Policy may not transfer if the funeral home closes or changes ownership. If you move you’d have to purchase a new one.
The death benefit pays directly to the funeral home and no family members have to handle the payment.
Your loved ones don't receive a payout or death benefit. If there are other expenses outside of a funeral you’ll have to come out of pocket to pay for it.
Pays for your final expenses in advance and the funeral home has the pre-paid plan on file.
Ties up money that might provide more value as an investment or savings. You will not be refunded any money.
No medical questions or exams are required as it’s a guaranteed acceptance style of the product.
Less coverage than a term life or final expense policy. Regular insurance policies might be better for you.

FAQs

Yes, there are single pay and multi-pay options available for preneed insurance. Single pay requires a larger sum of money up front (with a minimum premium of $500), while multi-pay allows this money to be spread over a longer period of time.

Pre-need insurance, sometimes called burial insurance, funeral insurance, or a pre-need funeral contract, is a type of permanent life insurance used to pay for the cost of funeral services and burial or cremation. What sets pre-need plans apart is that you work directly with a funeral home to price your funeral arrangements —funeral services, casket, vault, etc. Then, you pay a premium for an insurance policy used to fund the death benefit, which covers only those costs.
