After experiencing the loss of a loved one, families become aware of the many decisions that must be made in a short time. By pre-planning a service, careful consideration can be given to the funeral service, cemetery and expenses, which minimizes difficult decisions in the future.
Pre-planning your life celebration serves as an immense emotional and financial gift to your loved ones, relieving the family of burdensome decisions at a time of overwhelming stress.
Why Pre-Plan?
Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning gives you the time you need to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. At Spicer-Mullikin we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned.
Pre-planning also allows for Medicaid Spend Down Benefits. Funds set aside in an irrevocable funeral trust are exempt from Medicaid asset limits, meaning they won’t count against you when applying for benefits. By prepaying for funeral expenses, you can legally spend down assets to qualify for Medicaid while ensuring your final arrangements are taken care of. The licensed pre-planning professionals at Spicer-Mullikin will help ensure that you are making use of all applicable state, government, and veteran benefits.
