PREPLANNING YOUR FUNERAL

The celebration of your life is an important event!

All through your life you have made decisions with your family's best interests in mind providing a home, saving for college, and taking out insurance. You have prepared for tomorrow by thinking of today. Prearranging your funeral is yet another way to show your family how much you care.

A funeral is probably the last thing you or your family want to think about today. But the stress to your loved ones can be overwhelming when they need to make immediate decisions regarding your specific wishes. Give yourself peace of mind and take the time now to consider prearranging your funeral with a PathwayR prearrangement plan.

When you decide to prearrange and prepay your funeral, the funeral director is legally required to place the payment you give them in "trust". This ensures your family will know in their time of need there will be money set aside to take care of paying for your funeral. Pre-need insurance is used for this purpose. This specialized insurance gives a funeral director a method to use the money you give them in advance as a payment towards the purchase of insurance. At death, the life insurance proceeds are used to pay for the funeral service.

Prearranging and prepaying a funeral has become very popular as it ensures a family that a loved one will be able to have their specific final wishes known and recorded at a funeral home of their own choice. At the time of loss, a grieving family does not have to make any of the tough emotional decisions that are usually required of them, especially on one of the worst days of their lives. You will have already made those choices. Your family also will not have to worry about who or how the funeral is going to be paid, because you will have made that decision also.

You will have peace of mind and your family will be relieved that you thought ahead and prearranged with the PathwayR plan from Pekin Life Insurance Company.
