Years ago it wasn't common to pre-arrange a funeral, but now with changing lifestyles, many people feel more comfortable making those arrangements prior to the time of need. Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts are created today and the costs of a funeral can be locked in. (New York State law mandates that all contracts for pre-funded funerals executed by applicants or recipients of Medicaid or SSI be irrevocable.) 

• Planning ahead gives individuals and families peace of mind 

• Relieves any worry for your loved ones and having them know that arrangements have been completed

• Arrangements will reflect all of your personal wishes

• Avoids financial hardship on your family

Savings often become depleted once a loved one has entered a nursing home or there is a long-term illness. It makes sense to place monies aside for funeral expenses before funds have been depleted. If not it can place an unexpected burden on your immediate family or friends to cover your burial costs.
