Funeral home expenses often include professional services (embalming, use of facilities, service, etc.), merchandise costs (urns, caskets, vaults, headstones, etc.), and cash advances (flowers, musician, honorarium, death certificates, etc.). Families should plan to spend close to $10,000 for a burial and $6,700 for cremation services. The Beneficiary Liquidity Plan® helps to ensure families can pay for these expenses at any funeral home in the future.

Are There Additional Out of pocket Expenses for the Family?

Additional expenses can include travel costs for family members, celebration of life, luncheon, property taxes, putting a house on the market, etc. The Beneficiary Liquidity Plan® will give families access to money immediately for more than just the funeral service.
