Funeral plans consist of a two-step process: making funeral arrangement, and funding the cost through a trust agreement, insurance, or other method. it is possible to select funeral goods and services without pre-funding the funeral or to pre-fund a funeral without selecting specific goods and services. If you do either of these, you should be aware that the price of the funeral will not be guaranteed.
Trust A trust fund is established for expenses.
Insurance or Bond Through this method the person planning their funeral buys a policy of insurance, and directs payments of the death benefit to McCormick and Son. Policy benefits are exempt from income tax.
