Q: |
|
Why pre-arrange a funeral ? |
|
A: |
|
Because it offers many advantages, on
many levels. On one hand, it eases the emotional strain on family members that are left
behind. Pre-arrangement allows your family to continue their mourning process without the
burden of having to make difficult—though critical—decisions during their time
of grief. It also offers them the peace of mind that comes from knowing your wishes will
be respected. On the other hand, there are equally important financial considerations, an
ever-mounting source of concern for families everywhere. |

A: |

At Tradition & Trust Pre-Arrangement
Centers, we believe every funeral service is unique. By pre-planning, you make the
personal choices: Will there be a burial or cremation? What choice of clergy do you prefer
and what kind of music should accompany the service? Which visitation hours are most
appropriate to accommodate relatives and friends? What casket style (for burial services)
do you prefer?
The program can provide that notice be given to fraternal
organizations, church groups and other membership organizations. Preparation can also be
made for memorial gifts or charities of the person's choosing.

Q: |
|
What if
I have to apply for Medicaid,
or enter a Hospice setting or Nursing Home? |

A: |
|
Today, Federal and State* laws encourage
individuals pending approval for Medicaid, applying for Social Security, or entering a
Hospice or Nursing Home to completely pay for the funeral of their choice. More
importantly, these funds are exempt as resources when determining Medicaid eligibility. |
