2 PAYMENT OPTIONS To lose someone you love is a devastating human experience. It s frequently traumatic and can seriously impact judgement. It is important to celebrate the life of someone important to us when that person has died, and to make the experience as meaningful as possible. It is also important to be realistic in respect to funeral expenditures. We do not want a family to spend more than they are able, nor less than they would like. What is important is that the arrangements be in keeping with the family s wishes and budget. Because funeral costs are often shared by different individuals and frequently divided between family members, financial arrangements must be resolved prior to the funeral service. In this way, the possibility for misunderstanding between family members is avoided. Arlington s policy requires that all financial arrangements must be completed prior to the setting of any viewing times or services. We offer several payment options to you at this time. The following methods of payment are available for your convenience. OPTION A: Pre-Arranged Funeral Plan You may pay with a pre-arranged or pre-paid funeral arrangement. If pre-arrangements have been made, please inform your Funeral Director OPTION B: Cash or Credit Card You may pay the full amount at the time of funeral arrangements using either cash, check or major credit card. We do not accept third party checks. OPTION C: Verifiable and Assignable Insurance This option allows you to assign over all or a portion of insurance proceeds to pay for funeral expenditures. Policies, under two years old, are generally contestable, and are not acceptable. When acceptable insurance has been assigned, a monthly statement will be sent to the purchaser until payment is received from the insurance company. (We do not accept future payment from Estate Funds.)
