Advantages of PrePaid Funerals:
- The deceased' last wishes are recorded and paid for (if they finish the payments)
- The survivors don't have to make choices right after the death
- You can get the shopping out of the way ahead of time
- The deceased and survivors can share in the decision-making
Disadvantages of Pre Paid Funerals:

- It may be difficult to change arrangments
- Can be canceled if one monthly payment is late
- Ground care of your plot may deteriorate after you buy
- Your payments may exceed a normal burial
- You're paying a finance charge on items you haven't received
- Products are sold "as is"
- Maybe non refundable
- May lock you into inflated prices for inferior quality caskets, urns, and services
- May not be transferable if you move
- A refund may be reduced by sales charges as high as 1/3rd.
- The company may be out of business by the time the buyer dies
- If your die before the plan is paid for, your agreement may not be honored in full
- Interest may be withdrawn each year by the funeral home as administrative fees
