When it's important, we plan for it ahead of time. From college funds to weddings and home purchases, we are accustomed to putting money away for the pivotal and inevitable milestones in life. Setting aside money for your funeral is no different.

More and more people are pre-planning their funerals to save loved ones the stress of having to do it during such an emotional time. And when you make your own arrangements, it can also save money because you can specify which type of service you want and lock in today's prices.

But not all pre-paid funeral plans make sense financially, and regulations on prepaid funeral plans can vary by state and province. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons—what works, what doesn’t and what questions you need to ask to ensure you find the right plan for you.

In this article, you will learn about:

Comparing prepaid funeral plans and final expense insurance
Pros and cons of the different types of prepaid funeral plans
What a prepaid funeral plan covers
Whether you can cancel a prepaid funeral plan or get your money back
What a guaranteed prepaid funeral plan means
What happens if the provider where you purchased a prepaid funeral plan goes out of business

“It is very important, if at all possible to pre-plan and prepay for your funeral. This ensures that you are getting what you specifically want, and it makes it so much easier for the family to deal with the emotional side of grieving when funeral arrangements have already been taken care of.

—GARLAND DIEHL, WAYNESBORO, VA

It can be lot of money, but planning and paying for your funeral or cremation in advance can ease your family’s burden in so many ways.

A prepaid funeral plan allows you to outline your funeral or cremation, choose the products and services you'd like to include, specify the details, and then pay for the arrangements over time in installments that fit your budget. When choosing a prepaid funeral plan, it’s important to understand the different types to determine which is best for you and your family.

Comparing final expense insurance and prepaid funeral plans

Prepaid funeral plans and final expense insurance both provide a way to plan ahead for the cost of your funeral. The difference is in the details.

Some people want not only to pay for their funeral or cremation in advance but also to pick the casket, cremation memorial, type of celebration, kinds of flowers and more. If that's you, then a prepaid funeral plan makes sense. It includes your detailed final wishes and the funds—paid right to the funeral home. Plus, it guards against inflation.

However, if you're less inclined to choose the specifics but want to know your family won’t face the financial burden of end-of-life expenses, final expense insurance may be the best choice. It pays a flat amount to your beneficiary for funeral and burial costs, as well as other expenses. The beneficiary decides how the money is spent, but there's no protection against inflation, so it's often recommended that you purchase a bigger benefit than the current funeral plan costs. It doesn't pay out immediately, though, and your family may have to handle funeral expenses out of pocket and wait for the policy to pay back later.

Our chart breaks it down.

	Final expense insurance (aka burial insurance or funeral insurance)	Prepaid funeral plan
Amount	Typically $5,000-$25,000	You decide. The average funeral in 2019 was around $9,000, according to the National Funeral Directors Association, but can be as simple or elaborate as you wish.
Benefit paid to	Your beneficiary (a person you designate)	The funeral home or cremation provider of your choice
Benefit used for	Whatever your beneficiary chooses, typically funeral arrangements and medical bills	Goods and services you purchased ahead of time from your funeral home
Requirements to qualify	Health questions, but no medical exam	None
Final expenses are covered at the time of need	No	Yes
Who makes the arrangements	Your beneficiary must choose the type of funeral service, casket or urn, etc. during a very difficult time.	You prearrange with the funeral home all the details for your funeral or cremation; loved ones do not have to plan anything.

Types of prepaid funeral plans

When you purchase a prepaid funeral plan, you choose the type of service you want, down to the smallest detail, and lock in today's prices on many items. Once you've made decisions such as burial or cremation, casket or urn, traditional service or celebration of life and sign a contract, your money is set aside with a third party, either via an insurance policy or in a trust account. That ensures your monthly payments are in one of the following safe places:

Pre-need insurance policy: you pay premiums for a set amount of time—usually three to 10 years. The policy is in effect as long as your payments are up to date, and the benefit is paid directly to the funeral home. Dignity Memorial® providers offer pre-need insurance through American Memorial Life Insurance, which has an Excellent rating from AM Best.

Revocable trust: money (a lump sum or payments) for funeral expenses is placed into a trust with a trustee or beneficiary that you can change. The trust can be cashed out or canceled whenever you'd like. The benefit is paid directly to the funeral home.

Irrevocable trust: money (a lump sum or payments) for funeral expenses is placed into a trust that cannot be canceled. The trust has no cash value, and the money in the trust cannot be removed. Changes to the trustee or beneficiary or dissolution of the trust cannot take place without the permission of the trustee. Families usually designate a trust as irrevocable only as a state requirement for Medicare or Medicaid assistance. The benefit is paid directly to the funeral home.

What’s covered by a prepaid funeral plan?

When planning a funeral or memorial service, there are literally hundreds of details to consider and decisions to be made. Like any funeral or cremation, a prepaid plan can be personalized just for you.

When you sit down with a planning professional, he or she will first get to know you and your cultural and religious traditions, family customs and how you would like to be remembered. Then he or she will explain your full range of options, including the goods and services typically included in a funeral or cremation, as well as specialty items like keepsakes, remembrance jewelry, cemetery or cremation property, or even burial in an underwater reef.

Prepaid funeral plans usually cover these items:

Services of a funeral director and funeral home staff. In addition to providing guidance and family care during planning and the day of the funeral, the funeral director and supporting staff are often on call around the clock. They make sure every detail is expertly handled, from scheduling flowers, clergy, speakers, music or catering, to obtaining permits and death certificate copies and more.

Transportation to the funeral home and care of loved one. When a loved one dies, the funeral home will transport that person from home or a medical facility to the funeral home and then prepare the loved one's body for burial or cremation. Leading funeral homes follow strict custody procedures to ensure that there are no mistakes or mix-ups.

Casket or cremation container. When choosing traditional burial or a traditional service prior to cremation, selecting a casket is an important step. Caskets are typically offered in wood or metal and can vary in quality and price. A cremation container is required by law and can take the form of an all-wood casket or a lower-price cardboard container.

Cremation services and a container. Simple cremations come with a standard plastic container. You may also choose a sumptuous wooden box, eco-friendly scattering tube or classic urn to hold the cremated remains. These containers vary in price and can be made of wood, bronze, metal, glass or another material.

Venue for the funeral and/or reception. Many funeral homes have beautiful chapels and modern reception areas designed especially for memorials. Some have spacious patios for outdoor gatherings or lawns for tented events.

Catering. Food and drink can be as simple as a commemorative brunch of tea and pastries, as unique as serving a loved one’s secret recipe, or as elaborate as a full six-course meal.

Transportation to the cemetery. A procession to the cemetery is part of some services. In those cases, a hearse may be needed as well as transportation for the family.

Burial vault. For in-ground casket burial, many cemeteries require a vault, or outer burial container, into which the casket is placed. The vault helps maintain the integrity of the cemetery grounds. When burying an urn, a smaller urn vault may be purchased and is required by many cemeteries.

Other items such as flowers, stationery, decor, keepsakes for family and mementos for friends may be planned and included in prepaid costs.

How To Write A Eulogy - Jefferson Memorial Cemetery & Funeral Home

The thought of public speaking throws many people into a panic. Add to that fear the common discomfort of discussing death, and it's easy to understand why the idea of delivering a eulogy can be disconcerting. If you've been asked to write a eulogy, take heart. This article will help you put your fears in perspective so you can deliver a loving eulogy."Why me?"You were probably asked to deliver a eulogy because of your close relationship to the deceased, and because the family trusts you to honor his or her memory on behalf of family and friends. The family doesn't want to make you feel uncomfortable, foolish or as though your grief is on display. It's an honor they've bestowed upon you. Helping others say goodbye may turn out to be a rewarding experience. Don't worry about making mistakes. A eulogy comes from the heart of the deliverer. I can't see how a mistake could be made as long as it is honest and true."I can't write."Don't let the thought of writing intimidate you. You don't have to be a novelist to move people. Everyone has a story to tell and that's your job as a eulogist. Tell people your story.In the book "A Labor of Love: How to Write a Eulogy," author Garry Schaeffer says a eulogy should convey the feelings and experiences of the person giving the eulogy, and should be written in an informal, conversational tone. Schaeffer dispels the misconceptions that a eulogy should objectively summarize the person's life or speak for all present. Sit down and write from the heart.Eulogists often write about the person's attributes, memories and common times that were shared together. Sometimes they include the deceased's favorite poems, book passages, scripture verses, quotes, expressions, lines from songs or items that were written by the deceased. Whatever is selected, it generally reflects the loved one's lifestyle.These questions should get you thinking: How did you and the deceased become close? Is there a humorous or touching event that represents the essence of your passed loved one? What did you and others love and admire about the deceased? What will you miss most about him or her? Some of the simplest thoughts are deeply touching and easy for those congregated to identify with. For example, "I'll miss her smile," or "I'll never forget the way he crinkled his nose when he laughed," are just as good as "I admired her selflessness.""I can't speak in front of people."It may not be easy, but you can do it. A funeral is one time you'll surely have a kind and empathetic audience. They feel for you and are on your side. You'll only have to speak for five to ten minutes, but your gift will live in the hearts of the deceased's family and friends.If you're worried about choking up or breaking down in the middle of your eulogy, you can take a moment to compose yourself, then carry on, as Schaeffer recommends, or you can have a back up person ready to step in. Give a copy of your eulogy to the minister or funeral director so that person can finish the eulogy if you're unable to continue.Tips Be honest and focus on the person's positive qualities Humor is acceptable if it fits the personality of the deceased. "If you are inclined to be a perfectionist, lower your expectations and just do what you can given the short time-frame and your emotional state," writes Schaeffer in "Labor of Love." Keep it brief. Five to ten minutes is the norm, but it's a good idea to verify that with the minister or funeral director. Leo Saguin recommends interviewing family and friends in his book "How to Write and Deliver a Loving Eulogy." Put the eulogy on paper - at least in outline form. Eulogy or Sharing Time?If you're planning the funeral, you might want to consider "sharing time" as an alternative to a eulogy. In sharing time, the people congregated pass a microphone or take turns standing up to share their thoughts. It's like a lot of mini eulogies and is more spontaneous.Links Offering Examples Mona Simpson, sister to Steve Jobs, delivered a heart wrenching eulogy that was posted in The New York Times on October 30, 2011 - Click here to read it in its entirety.

How To Choose Speakers For A Funeral

What makes a funeral service memorable? Most often, it's the words that are spoken and the special people who say them. So when you gather with family members to plan a ceremony to help you celebrate the life of a loved one, it's wise to choose your speakers with care. There are several speaking roles to think about. Choosing the right person for each of these roles is important.Ceremony LeaderYou will need one person to take charge and oversee the ceremony. This person is responsible for starting and finishing the service, performing official duties within the ceremony, and coordinating all the activities in between. This person is called the officiant.If your loved one was involved in a religion, the clergy from his or her church may be the logical choice. If the person who died (the deceased) was not a member of a specific church, you can invite clergy from another church or an officiant with no church connection to perform a religious ceremony.Most clergy will follow an order of service dictated by their religious rules. This typically includes prayers, readings and blessings for the deceased and saddened family members.If a non-religious ceremony seems right, or family members are having trouble choosing the clergy, a professional funeral celebrant may be the solution. A celebrant will work with you to design a fully customized ceremony that can meet a variety of needs. Your funeral director can help arrange for an officiant.Guest Speaker or EulogistAnother important choice is the person or people who will write and deliver a speech a eulogy about the life of the person who has died. The speech is ideally given by someone who knew the person well enough to gather and share memories and highlights of his/her life.Sometimes the choice is obvious within the family. There is often one person who seems to be the unofficial family spokesperson. In other cases, the family needs to look further to find the right person to have the honor. Another family member, a lifelong friend or a trusted co-worker might have the perfect combination for the job a deep knowledge of the person who died and good writing and public speaking abilities. In some cases, the officiant, who may be a priest, minister, or professional celebrant, will give the eulogy.Many families choose to have more than one speaker to cover different aspects of their loved ones' life. One way to do this is to follow the main eulogy with a couple of shorter presentations; perhaps a grandson reading a letter or a daughter reading Mom's favorite poem. In all, no more than 30 minutes should be planned for the Eulogy part of the service.One last word of advice about eulogies: keep in mind that even though a family member may wish to speak at the funeral to help with the healing process, he or she may be too emotionally distressed to speak when the time comes. It's a good idea to have another speaker ready to step in and finish the speech if necessary.Reader(s)Many services include readings from the Bible or other sacred texts. These may be read by clergy or other guests. When planning the service, ask the clergy or celebrant whether guest readers are required or allowed. This could be a welcome honor for a family member or close friend who is not up to the task of writing or presenting a long speech. If you have guest readers, make sure they have the verses ahead of time in order to practice and double check any tricky words.Open MicrophoneIt has become popular to open the floor to allow guests to share additional memories with the group. While this practice can provide more information about the life of the deceased and create a deeper feeling of community, it's not without some risk. Clear time limits should be set and respected. The ceremony leader must be prepared to politely guide participants who speak too long, or the ceremony can start to drag.Final WordsThere are formal and informal rules, rites and traditions involved in almost any funeral or memorial ceremony. Especially if your service occurs in a place of worship, there will be guidelines to respect. Make sure you meet with the selected officiant ahead of time so you understand what to expect and have a chance to discuss any special requests.Most important, remember whose life you are celebrating. Their stated wishes, or your understanding of what they would prefer, should always guide your decisions.
