OBITUARIES
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 interest-bearing
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.
