Financial Security:

Protect Yourself from Rising Costs Across the Board 

As with everything we purchase today—from groceries to housing—prices tend to rise over time. Whether it’s the cost of milk, gas, clothing, or even vacations, the reality is that inflation affects everything, including funeral services. Just as weddings or home prices go up year by year, so too do the costs of arranging a funeral. 

While income growth doesn't always keep up with these rising prices, pre-paying for your funeral arrangements allows you to lock in today’s rates, protecting you and your family from paying significantly more in the future. 

Consider the following: 

• Milk prices have steadily increased over the years, making a gallon today cost significantly more than it did a decade ago. 

• Gasoline costs fluctuate, but the long-term trend is upward, impacting everything from commuting to family road trips. 

• Housing continues to rise year over year, making the same home more expensive for future buyers. 

• Vacations and even services like divorce have become more costly, leaving families with less disposable income. 

• Meanwhile, income increases for many families don’t always match the rate at which these essential goods and services go up. 

Why Pre-Paying for Funeral Services Makes Sense 

When you consider the broad impact of inflation on your everyday purchases, pre-paying for your funeral is one of the smartest ways to protect your loved ones from future financial stress. Just like setting money aside for a child’s education or pre-paying for a vacation package, locking in today’s prices for your final arrangements ensures that your family won’t be burdened with higher costs years from now.
