Pre-Planning Advantage  < top >
What Would Happen Tonight if You Died Today? Some Advice That Makes Sense!
Click here for information on Being Prepared. We plan for many events in life from family, vacations, to retirement. We protect ourselves from accidents such as fires, accidents, and financial disasters. Planning for a funeral is also something important to plan for, even though we don’t necessarily want to.

A funeral can or cannot be paid in advance. Money put aside for a funeral is put into a third party trust, either an insurance trust or back certificate, leaving the money irrevocable for a funeral only, and completely owned by the individual.
