Your Options
The cost of a funeral can range from $4,000 to over $14,000* depending on the type of service, or whether you choose a burial or cremation. By pre-planning your funeral with a funeral bond or pre-paid funeral, you can ensure your wishes are carried out, and have funds available to support those wishes.
