Pre-planning for funeral services is a serious matter. It protects you and your loved ones. For this reason, the State of Texas has established a website to provide additional education and resources for those in the process of considering pre-planning funeral goods and services. Please visit
www.prepaidfunerals.texas.gov for important information supplied by the Texas Department of Banking who oversees pre-planned funeral insurance policies.
The process of making funeral arrangements can be quite stressful for the loved ones of the deceased. Often, families are not aware of the final wishes of their loved one, and the cost of a funeral can add to the financial burden of the bereaved family. Pre-planning for a funeral can help relieve some of the emotional stress of the family and can also eliminate the financial burden of purchasing funeral services and goods.
Simply put, a pre need plan consists of a pre-need funeral contract outlining the funeral goods and services that you select personally for yourself or your loved one. The second component is a pre-need insurance policy whose benefits are assigned to pay for the funeral goods and services you selected when the need arises. We can co-ordinate a payment plans that suits your needs, from a single payment plan to monthly bank account withdrawals. By pre-paying your funeral you eliminate your family second guessing on if they have spent too much or too little on your funeral.

The majority of families find pre-planning to be easy, relaxed and often times fun and enjoyable. It is much easier to seriously consider death when it is at a distance. That is what pre-planning allows you to do...consider death at a distance and make decisions with a clear mind. When there is no pre-planning, your loved ones do not have the ability to do that...they must make decisions during a time of sadness, grief, fear, and sometimes even anger.
