Can I pay for my funeral now?

Yes, you can pay now for your funeral. This is most commonly called a prepaid funeral and there are many companies who provide them. With a funeral plan you pay the cost of your funeral (set at today’s prices) in advance and so your loved ones will not have to worry about paying for your funeral when the time comes.

What are the Pros and Cons of funeral plans?
