Thinking of Buying an Insurance Policy to Cover Funeral Expenses?
August 19, 2011
The cost of a funeral is only guaranteed when purchased and completed through your local funeral home. Other insurance companies may promise that if you purchase through them, you can guarantee that your final funeral expenses will be taken care of, but the reality is that your family may still be required to pay significant amounts to cover the funeral at the time of death.
When a funeral is arranged and prepaid in full through our funeral home, the price of that funeral is guaranteed. We will never go back to your family for more money to cover any items or services that have been paid for in full.
If you have any questions about prepaying a funeral to guarantee the costs at today’s prices, please do not hesistate to give us a call.
