We're here to answer your questions about prepaid funeral plans and to take away the fear from preplanning/prepaying. Here are some myth-busting reasons why you should consider prepaying for your funeral with Noe Funeral Service.
Myth #1: Your money is better off in the bank.
- Yes, your money can earn a small amount of interest in the bank, but prepaying for your funeral allows you to skirt imminent inflation on products and services by locking in your price.
Myth #2: You'll lose your investment if the funeral home goes out of business
- Yes, any business can go under, but state regulations require that prepaid funeral plan payments are securely invested with an independent entity, keeping your funds safe.
Myth #3: Life insurance covers funeral expenses.
- If you have a life insurance policy, you will not receive a payout until weeks after death (while funeral expenses are due at the time of service, typically), And there's no guarantee that the insurance payout will cover the cost of funeral expenses.
