Pre-Arrangements

Cotrell Funeral Service carries pride in its compassion for families in need, creating funeral services with integrity and respect for the deceased.

At Cotrell, we ensure that family members are able to leave a legacy in an easy and accessible manner. Often financial concerns are a big concern for families; our goal is to remove the burden during this difficult time and act as a guiding light through the process.

For many families, pre-need life insurance can be beneficial. Cotrell Funeral Service’s team of professionals is dedicated to answering pre-need questions, concerns, and arrangements. Another important note is that if a death occurs away from home call your local funeral home first, to handle all funeral service arrangements.

Preneed insurance covers prearranged costs of after life expenses, from funeral to cremation services.

Of the benefits of preneed insurance, the first and foremost is to protect the deceased person’s family and financial assets. Another is that the money going into the insurance is an exempt asset, meaning there is no income tax on policy growth. The insurance policy amount to cover final expenses is generally exempt from Medicaid eligibility. Finally, once a person establishes preneed insurance coverage, the policy locks in at that price and remains fixed until the person passes.

Preneed insurance gives family peace of mind, eliminating the stress, anxiety, and fighting that can occur over costs.

The team at Cotrell Funeral Service is available to assist you at any point in your journey, whether it’s answering a simple question or getting started with the preneed funeral service process.
