The Benefit of Pre-Planning and Pre-Funding Funerals
Todd N. Hitzeman, Licensed Funeral Director & Insurance Broker

This seminar will explore the options of paying for your Funeral or that of a loved one prior to passing.  This is a great way to alleviate stress and the burden of family members for the unexpected.  You will learn about pre-planning, what documentation you will need for the process, how to ask the right questions to determine what is right for you and your family, disposition choices you have to consider, out of State transfers and basic funeral costs.  This interactive lecture will explain trusts vs. insurance policies, Medicaid qualifications, legal obligations, protecting funds and securing authority and potential beneficiary recipients, and guaranteed verses non-guaranteed items and services.  We will explain some of the pitfalls that may be out there and how to protect yourselves.  You will also learn about the roles and limitations of Power of Health verses a Power of Attorney and how either can be your advocate as well as wills and probate.  You will walk away with the knowledge that you need in order to make an informed decision on your final wishes.  Open to Everyone.  This lecture will take approximately 45 minutes with the remaining time open for a question and answer session.  Be sure to bring a family member or friend and learn together.  Sign up for all series or the one that is most important to you.
