Can I Transfer my Pre-Arrangements to a Different Funeral Home?

Transferring Your Pre-Arrangement

Many people today plan their own funeral, and there can be a number of different reasons for this. Some people want the funeral to be conducted in a certain way, while others do this for financial reasons. Funeral services can be quite expensive, and if you want to ensure that your family doesn’t have to bear the burden of it, pre-planning your funeral is a good option.

Why People Pre-Plan Their Funeral

When you pre-plan your funeral, you have complete control over how it would be held which means you can decide things such as:

• The type of casket or urn
• The flower arrangements and overall theme
• Type of music
• Elaborate or simple ceremony

In short, when you pre-plan on your funeral, you can decide exactly how you want the entire event to run. Sometimes, people change their mind and feel that they need to switch to a different funeral home. This need could arise in case they have moved to another town, state or city. Sometimes they feel that another establishment would be able to provide them with better services than the funeral home they have already pre-planned at etc.

Check the Contract

While switching funeral homes is possible, it would depend entirely on what your contract states. Credible funeral homes offer the option of switching to a different establishment. They will transfer the funds to the new funeral home, but there may be certain to administrative fees and penalties to be paid. If you are considering pre-planning your funeral, it is important that you can go through all the terms and conditions of the contract, in a detailed manner.
