1. To qualify yourself for Medicaid. Medicaid allows a spend down process, and you may use part of all of your savings to pay for your funeral. If you do not do this, and are admitted to a nursing home, Medicaid will first use your funds before your Medicaid becomes effective.

2. Many people prearrange their funerals because they want to attend to all of the details themselves. They feel this is the last thing they can do for themselves.

3. Many don’t have an immediate surviving family. Prearrangements are a way of taking care of your final details by yourself.

4. Do you have specific wishes for your funeral? Prearrangements are a way to make sure your wishes are adhered to such as how much to spend, final disposition, what type of casket you want, what cemetery (or cremation plans). Many even write their own obituaries?

5. Do you want to choose the type of services that are reflective of the life you lived? Only you know detailed information about yourself?

Assurance that your wishes will be followed at the time of your death.

Some people find themselves in a position of being the last survivor in their family, or of having no immediate relatives. You may not wish to leave your funeral arrangements to chance, or depend upon friends to make choices concerning your funeral arrangements. Making prearrangements ensures that you have the type of services you want.
