Final expenses are on the rise. In 1962, the average funeral expense service was $738. Today, that average exceeds $6,000. The Government Death Benefit pays only $255 as a benefit and only to "Qualified Dependents". The Veteran's Administration final expense benefit, if you qualify, is only $300.
One in every four families will make final arrangements in the next five years. Too often, families make hasty, ill-informed and needlessly expensive decisions when arranging funeral services for those whom they love. Most people are unpleasantly surprised by the extent and complexity of final expenses and the details that must be handled.
