Frequently Asked Questions
-
Think of it as party planning—but for your final farewell! Pre-arrangement means deciding how you want things to go, so loved ones don’t have to guess.
-
Do you trust Larry with the décor? Pre-arranging locks in prices and spares your family from the “What would they have wanted?” debate.
-
Absolutely. Most plans are flexible—update them whenever your taste (or sense of humor) evolves.
-
Prices depend on casket style, service level, and local fees, but most plans in Fallbrook fall between $3,000 and $8,000. Locking in today’s rate protects you from future price hikes, and many providers let you pay in manageable monthly installments.
-
California law requires every dollar to go into a prepaid trust or funeral insurance policy until the services are delivered. That keeps the funds protected and guarantees they’re used only for your funeral expenses—never for overhead or cousin Larry’s lunch.
-
Yes. Most pre-need contracts are portable. Simply give your new licensed funeral home the contract details, and they can honor the prices and services you already chose. Your money follows you, so you don’t lose the protection you’ve paid for.
-
Generally, no. Pre-need funds held in trust are classified as “exempt assets” for Medicaid in California, and they don’t reduce life-insurance payouts to your beneficiaries. Check with your attorney or financial advisor if you have unusual estate-planning circumstances.
