The death rate is 100%
Somebody has to make hundreds of decisions in a matter of
hours... To whom do you wish to assign this task? Many people
practice avoidance and leave these decisions to people who are
ill-prepared... especially on the worst day of their life... the
day their loved one died. We think, and thousands of Woodland
families think, there is a better way.
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. Nine reasons to plan ahead:
- Family "Matter" vs. Family "Crisis" – Arranging today, before
death, is handling a "family matter". Arranging at the time
of death is dealing with a "family crisis". Which sounds
better? More responsible? Kinder?
- Lower Costs – Prearrangement allows you
to pay for tomorrow’s services at today’s cost. By locking
in the cost today, and making decisions in a calm, measured
environment, you’ll save money.
-
Inflation Proof Guarantee – When you pre-pay, we place funds in a trust fund to cover the future cost of goods and services selected, whatever it may be... regardless of inflation and price increases.
- Easy Payment Plan - We offer 12, 24, 36,
48, or 60 month
payment plans depending upon the amount of the purchase and
the amount of the down payment. These plans can be financed
at only 7.9% APR.
- Tax Free Growth – The growth in our
pre-need trust fund is tax free to you. You will not receive
a Federal W-2 or 1099 form.
- 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 pre-need trust plan will
not count as an asset if you enter a nursing home. It is
exempt from government agencies, private agencies and
taxation.
- No Probate or Delay – When you use our
trust fund, your dollars are immediately available to pay
cemetery costs. There is NO probate or delay and your loved
ones will not have to come up with significant cash or
borrowed funds on short notice.
- Dignity and Peace of Mind – You help ensure
that your wishes are carried out with dignity and respect.
Before your death you retain the right to change the
merchandise or lot location or any of the many decisions you
have made. At death, your family will be comforted in the
knowledge that they are honoring your wishes.
- Preplanning is Simple- Our Pre-Need Department is staffed by full time Family Service Representatives who are skilled at presenting information and options to you and your family. The planning conference can be held in your home or ours, whichever is easiest for you. Families can choose the products and services they can afford using "time payment plans". This helps to shelter funds from government agencies and “freezes the cost” of the items purchased. Your family will be protected from price increases and inflation. It’s a better way! Call today.
