What Happens to My Prearrangements If the Funeral Home I Originally Chose Closes?
Your plans are important. Your choice of funeral home is still yours.
If you or a family member made funeral prearrangements with another funeral home, a change in circumstances may leave you wondering what happens to those arrangements and any funds that were set aside.
Falardeau Funeral Home is Here to Help.
We can review your existing prearrangements, help you understand how they are funded, and explain your options moving forward.
There is no charge to meet with us and review your arrangements, and no obligation to make a change.
You Have a Choice
Pre-planning your funeral service can not only ease the burden on your loved ones, but it helps ensure your final wishes are honored. While some families struggle with making those final decisions after losing someone, your family won’t have to worry with making those hard choices.
Making funeral arrangements in advance does not necessarily mean that you are required to use the funeral home where those arrangements were originally made.
If your circumstances have changed, you have moved, your preferences are different, or the funeral home you originally selected is no longer available to serve you, we can help you understand your options.
If you decide that you would like Falardeau Funeral Home to care for you and your family in the future, our staff can assist with transferring your existing prearrangements.
Not Sure What You Have?
That's okay. Bring us whatever paperwork you have.
Prearrangements may include trust documents, insurance policies, funeral selections, contracts, or other paperwork. You don't need to understand all of it before contacting us.
We'll sit down with you and review your arrangements together, including:
- How your prearrangement is funded
- The services and merchandise you previously selected
- Whether your arrangements are revocable or irrevocable
- What options you have for transferring your arrangements
- Whether your existing selections still reflect your wishes
- What steps are needed if you choose Falardeau Funeral Home
What If My Prearrangement Is Irrevocable?
If your funeral prearrangement was made irrevocable, including arrangements established as part of Medicaid planning, you may still have options regarding the funeral home that will ultimately provide your services.
We can review your paperwork with you and help explain what options are available for your particular arrangements.
Your Plans Should Give You Peace of Mind
Planning ahead is meant to make things easier for you and your family.
If circumstances surrounding your original arrangements have changed, you shouldn't have to navigate the process alone.
Let us help you understand what you have and what your options are.
