Since 2013, Greg has worked as a life insurance broker in California. He holds licenses in several states. Greg is knowledgeable in a variety of life insurance applications. One, in particular, has become a passion of his.
And that is funeral pre-planning.
Perhaps his grandmother, Daisy, was instrumental in sparking that passion. She was one of the first female licensed mortician/funeral directors in Cleveland, Ohio, where the Marshall Funeral Home started, in 1940.
Most life insurance policies provide funeral coverage for the unavoidable event called death, but due to various delays, those funds are not always available in time. Contact Greg if you have immediate questions.
Controlling your destiny
Do you own life insurance?
Funeral homes require upfront payment for cremation and burial services. Cemeteries will charge separately and require upfront payments as well.
One use of life insurance is to pay for funeral and burial expenses. Because of possible delays in receiving the death certificate and other paperwork, the funds may not be available for 30 days or more.
Any financial delay could cause a problem for a family. What options does a family have if these funds are not available? They may need to set up an online donation account, ask for family support, or hold a car wash or bake sale.
Some funeral homes may accept a funeral assignment, which is a contract stating that a funeral home will receive payment once the life insurance proceeds arrive.
If you want to pay for your funeral costs in advance as well as arrange your green burial, you should consider pre-planning, also known as pre-arrangement, advanced planning, or final arrangement.
Finally, pre-planning allows you to lock in today's prices, even if prices later increase.
Is pre-planning a necessity or a luxury?
Your dream of an environmentally friendly 'departure' may perish if you wait too long to initiate a plan.
Consider what may happen to that dream if you never inform your loved ones of your preference for a green burial. After your death, they would more than likely select a conventional, non-green burial method.
Act ahead of time if you want your loved ones to honor your wishes for a green burial.
Many of us have hectic and demanding schedules. No matter how hard we try, life often thwarts our plans and stops us from carrying them out.
