Are your parent’s funeral & burial costs on you?

I’m not so sure anyone likes to speak about death, especially trying to bring it up at the dinner table with your parents. You might get the typical “what are you after my riches” quote or a smart remark such as “trying to bury me already huh”. If you’ve got parents like this, I highly recommend having the Guardian Angels ease the tension of a tough topic to swallow.

What a lot of people don’t know is that funeral costs, burial costs, and/or cremation costs all have to be paid two days prior to the services. This means that the life insurance policy you were depending on to pay for it, won’t arrive until a month or so after the services. And what about the cost you ask? Maybe you’re thinking it’s somewhere around $5,000-$6,000K, wrong, the average funeral and burial is anywhere from $18,000-$30,000. Who has that kind of money lying around? What should I do?

For starters, pre-planning your parents’ funerals will lock in today’s pricing for the services requested. Each year pricing creeps up with inflation and let’s face it, they’re not magically creating new land, so the pricing will continue to rise. From the research we found and the knowledge from our partners who we work with closely, the best financial decision you can make is lock in the pricing today. If you were to select an affiliate we work with, you’d be able to take advantage of this fabulous benefit.

Imagine this; your mother or father passes away and you realize you don’t have enough money to pay for the services. Deep down you feel like you’re not giving them what they deserve. We know that’s not a good feeling. Knowing what these costs are upfront, and while your parents are still alive, they can help contribute to the payment plan to help greatly take the financial burden off. 

It’s bound to happen to all of us. Lock in your rates now, customize it how you’d like and live the rest of your life worry free of funeral and burial costs.
