Funeral Arrangements - Things to think about

  1. What is important to you (that your family or that me as your advisor) should know about how your funeral arrangements should be conducted? Or, how do you picture the most appropriate final arrangements?
  2. What are your feelings regarding burial vs. cremation?
  3. Is it important to you to have a traditional funeral? Should there be a viewing?
  4. What might need to be purchased to fulfill your final wishes?
  5. What do you believe these final arrangements will cost, and how do you intend to pay for them?
  6. Did you know that Medicaid requires the spend-down of all liquid assets (including your cash value life insurance and your CDs), but the state actually encourages you to pay for a funeral with a prepaid funeral plan?
  7. Would you be interested in setting up a prepaid funeral plan?
