When someone passes away in North Carolina, their next of kin must make several important decisions. These include choices about funeral and burial arrangements, handling the deceased’s final affairs, and notifying the proper authorities.

These decisions can be a lot for someone to handle, especially if they are grieving. It is normal for the next of kin to delegate some of these tasks to friends or professionals, such as a local funeral home and crematory.

However, if you don’t want your NOK to feel burdened by these overwhelming decisions, it’s essential to plan with a funeral pre-plan.

Life insurance and funeral insurance can help your loved ones cover expenses after you die, but there are some critical differences.

Funeral insurance is typically a low coverage policy that is easy to qualify for, while life insurance policies can have much higher amounts of coverage, even into the millions! However, there is a third option: the funeral trust or preneed contract.

A funeral trust is a revocable or irrevocable trust used to pay for funeral expenses. However, it is much more than that! These trusts are created at your chosen North Carolina funeral home. Some nursing homes even require them as part of your admission.

Find out more about how each of these options work.
