WHAT DETERMINES THE COST OF A FUNERAL?
You and your family do. A funeral can be as extravagant or as simple as you desire.
Today, many
people have concerns and questions about costs. Birchette Mortuary, Inc. has consistently offered a variety of options so
that every family can plan a tribute that is appropriate, meaningful and affordable.
Birchette
Mortuary, Inc. is family owned. We pride ourselves on treating our customers like our own family members. We have been
in business for 50 years and we have never refused service due to inability to pay.
A funeral is an essential expenditure, and a little planning will eliminate the uncertainty of costs
and payment. If you don't plan for funeral expenses, you run the risk of your family having to ask friends and relatives to
share an unexpected financial burden, which can put everyone in an embarrassing and uncomfortable position.
Here are some options for financing funerals.
Preneed
plans are designed to cover the expenses associated with your death and funeral. Preneed insurance companies
such as Homesteaders Life Company, offer several payment options to give you flexibility.
Generally,
annuities allow for the money you pay to be invested. Interest is earned which will, over time, increase
the amount of money available to pay for your funeral.
A traditional life insurance policy
can meet several needs--pay off loans, fund education costs, and provide for living expenses, as well as funeral expenses.
Beware
with this strategy. A long illness can easily deplete short-term savings, while taxes and early withdrawal penalties can reduce
long-term savings.
We
Believe
We accept
All Major Credit Cards for payments of services.
We accept
Pre-Need Burial Plans from other Funeral Homes or Insurance Companies.
