What is a Prepaid Funeral Plan?

• A prepaid funeral plan is a contract between an
  individual and a funeral home or provider that
  allows the individual to pay for their funeral
  services in advance. This plan typically locks in
  the current prices for services, protecting
  against inflation and rising costs over time.
