Question: How do Prearranging and Prepaying a funeral differ?
Prearranging a funeral is an excellent way to make sure that the type of service you want is permanently recorded and gives you an exact cost for that service. This is an excellent way to make sure your family knows your wishes, therefore relieving them of the burden of making hard decisions when the time of need arises. Prepaying a funeral allows you to lock in the cost of the funeral today so that your family will have no financial burden in the future.
Question: How do I Prepay a funeral?
There are two methods available to pre-pay for a funeral: a regulated funeral trust or a life insurance policy (This is the preferred way).
Question: How do I prearrange a funeral if I am receiving Medicaid Assistance?
It may be necessary for the prearranged funeral contract to be termed as "irrevocable" if the funeral recipient is applying to or is currently receiving Medicaid assistance. Making the contract irrevocable does not change what or how the Johnson Family Funeral Home will provide the services and merchandise at the time of need.
