Should I pre-pay for my arrangements?

Read video transcript

Pre-paying can offset future charges to your family, but it has risks. Before pre-paying, ask:

  1. What happens if the funeral home closes or is sold?
  2. What happens if I move to another state?
  3. Is my money held in a trust or insurance policy (safer) or just by the business?
  4. Can I cancel and get a refund?
  5. Can I transfer this to another funeral home in the future?
