Why Should You Pre-Plan?

Life is more complicated now than ever! Family members live in different parts of the country, dealing with government agencies can be frustrating and inflation is felt by every household. Planning ahead prevents emotional overspending and protects your family’s interests.

Planning Guidebook 


Seven reasons to plan ahead:

1. Peace of Mind – Arranging today, before death, is handling a family matter. Arranging at the time of death is dealing with a family crisis. By planning ahead, you have true peace of mind in knowing you have taken care of everything;

2. Personal Choice – Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. And we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned;

3. Lower Costs – Pre-arrangement with pre-payment allows you to pay for tomorrow’s funeral at today’s cost. By locking in the cost today, and making decisions in a calm, measured environment, you’ll save money;

4. Inflation Proof Guarantee – Burnett-Dane Funeral Home guarantees in writing that certain service and merchandise costs will be fully covered when you pre-pay either by placing funds in an insurance fund or trust;

5. Tax Free Growth – Your funeral plan can be funded by insurance. In this case, the growth in your funeral plan is tax free. You will not receive a Federal 1099 form;

6. Protection from Nursing Home Costs – Unlike other investments (including cash value of traditional life insurance) that you own, the dollars you place into a correctly structured final expense plan will not count as an asset if you enter a nursing home. The full cost of your funeral can be protected using an insurance fund;

7. Dignity and Control – You help ensure that your wishes are carried out with dignity and respect. Before your death, you retain the right to change funeral homes or funeral services. These rights pass to your family after death occurs.
