COPING WITH DEATH
Preplanning your funeral is a loving
gesture to those you leave behind
Planning your funeral ahead of
time will prevent your family
from having to guess what your
wishes were during a very emotional
and stressful time following your
death.
Before visiting a funeral home to
discuss your prearrangements, give
some thought to your preferences for
a funeral service by identifying any
religious elements, songs or readings
or other unique requests that you
would like to be incorporated into
your funeral service.
When you meet with the funeral
director, they will guide you through
the diff erent services and merchandise
available.
You will have the opportunity to
select those which meet with your
personal preferences and beliefs.
Your funeral director will give
you a printed copy of their “General
Price List” to show the cost of their
services and merchandise, enabling
you to create a meaningful service
that meets your preferences and
fi nancial considerations.
Once the details have been fi nalized,
your funeral director will
prepare a preneed agreement and
fully itemized statement for your
review and a copy to take home with
you.
Pre-payment is not required, but is
an option should you choose to do so.
In New York State, your funeral
director is required by law to deposit
your prepaid funds into an interestbearing
government-backed trust
account.
Your principle - and the interest
earned - will remain yours.
It is important to discuss your decision
to pre-plan and/or pre-fund your
funeral with your loved ones.
Discuss with them which funeral
home you have made your arrangements
with and consider providing
them with a copy of your preneed
documents.
