Pre-Planning Options
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PREPLAN YOUR FUNERAL?
The best time to begin making your prearrangements is now, while you're thinking about it. While some people in their 40's and 50's may think it's too early to preplan, people who do say that prearranging their funerals is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren't leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you'll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress. This way you can carefully choose specific items you want and need ... and pay for them now. Prepaid Investments through funeral homes allows families to fund their funerals in advance through different investment vehicles.
Why should I consider pre-planning services?
Guaranteed Price - All funeral home service charges and merchandise items are price guaranteed when the arrangements are pre-paid in full.
Substantial Savings - You decide now what type of arrangements you want and how much you want to spend.
Security - Ontario law requires 100% of your money to be deposited in a special trust fund.
Convenience- Arrangements can be made in our funeral home or in the comfort, privacy and security of your home.
Transferability - In the event you move from our neighbourhood, your funds are fully transferable to any funeral home in Canada.
Modification - You can modify your arrangements at any time.
Eliminate Doubt - Spare your family the emotional stress of making decisions during a difficult time.
Responsible Estate Planning - A pre-need funeral contract offers your family inflation protection. It is also important to remember not to place your wishes in your will as wills are usually read after the funeral has taken place.
