Preneed Life Insurance vs. Traditional Life Insurance — What’s the Difference?

Many families assume all life insurance works the same… but when it comes to funeral planning, that’s not always the case.

💡 Preneed Life Insurance is designed specifically to:
✔ Lock in today’s funeral prices
✔ Protect loved ones from unexpected expenses
✔ Ensure funds are available when and where they’re needed
✔ Help safeguard assets from Medicaid spend-down (in many cases)

🆚 Traditional Life Insurance — typically paid to a beneficiary and may not be immediately available for funeral expenses, or cover the full cost.

📊 We’ve included a simple chart below to help explain the differences at a glance.

Planning ahead isn’t about focusing on death; it’s about peace of mind, dignity, and caring for your family.

If you’d like to learn more about preneed options or have questions, we’re always here to help. 🤍

📍 501 E. Main Street, Burnsville, NC

📩 Message or give us a call; or stop by the office.
We look forward to meeting you!

We had a blast seeing everyone’s smiling faces & awesome costumes! It’s always an honor to serve such an amazing community, but it’s even better when we get to interact with the kiddos because they truly are what it’s all about!

Happy Halloween, everybody!

~We’re proud to announce our new Veteran Tribute Wall — created to honor the heroes who lived, served, and loved right here in our mountain home~

At Holcombe Brothers Funeral Home, we hold deep respect and gratitude for the brave men and women who have served our country. We are honored to serve so many families whose loved ones proudly wore the uniform, and we are continually inspired by their courage and sacrifice.

To pay tribute, we’ve created a special space within our funeral home dedicated to honoring our veterans — a lasting symbol of appreciation for their service and devotion.

Many of these heroes were born and raised right here in our mountains, living and serving within the same close-knit community they loved so dearly. Their stories are a part of our shared heritage — a reflection of the strength, resilience, and pride that define our mountain home. 🏔️

If you have any veteran memorabilia you would like to share, we invite you to display it on our Veteran Tribute Wall — where every item tells a story of honor, service, and love for both country and community.

✨ This display was created in honor of you — our veterans — and in remembrance of your unwavering dedication. To the husbands, wives, and families who have endured the loss of a beloved veteran, we honor you as well.

May this wall serve as a place of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for all who have given so much. ❤️🤍💙

Please call us at (828) 682 - 2310 or come by during our business hours (9-5, M-F) if you'd like to display memorabilia!
