-Pre-Arrangements-

     To plan ahead for your funeral, you simply meet with your funeral director who offers the Forethought plan.  He will help you select the services and merchandise you desire.  Once you’ve made your decision, your funeral director will help you put it in writing, so there will be no doubt about your wishes.  Family and friends will never have to wonder if they’ve done the right thing, if they’ve forgotten anything, or if what they select is what you truly would have wanted.

     Your Forethought funeral director can provide the best possible guidance as you plan for the future.  Many important decisions are normally left to be made at the time of a death.  However, with Forethought funeral planning you will have assistance making many of these decisions before the need arises.  Arranging the service, selecting the casket, naming pallbearers, arranging transportation for family and friends and selecting clothing for the deceased are just a few-there are many more.  With Forethought funeral planning, you can make these kinds of decisions today and remove the burden from your family.  You’ll have peace of mind knowing you arranged all these things for those you love.

     Forethought funeral planning allows you to plan and fund your funeral before the need arises.  It is available through thousands of independent funeral homes across the United States.  If you move, your plan goes with you to the next location.  

     You can pay the total amount for your pre-arrangement at once, if you choose.  Convenient payment plans are also available and may have limited death benefit in the first year or two.  Whichever you choose, the specifics will be explained thoroughly by your local Forethought funeral planning professional. When the need arises, your Forethought plan authorizes Forethought Life to make direct payment of proceeds to the funeral home.  A simple telephone call to the funeral home should be all that is needed to put the process in motion for you and or your loved ones. 

     Forethought funeral planning may qualify for exemption from Medicaid and SSI.  This allows you the peace of mind of planning the funeral you want while still qualifying for benefits.  It is recommended that you learn about this important aspect and how it may pertain to your personal needs.

The advantages make sense.  Planning your funeral:

  • Provides peace of mind
  • Relieves your loved ones of unnecessary concern
  • Reflects your expressed wishes
  • Will not be a financial burden on your family.
