Funeral Financing Loans Also Available for Pre-planning

You may also choose a financing option when making pre-arrangements for your own or a loved one’s service. The majority of Americans believe making their end-of-life wishes known is very important, but a small percentage of us actually do so.

You can now make your arrangements, lock in current pricing, and pay for them over time via a funeral financing loan. This again applies to traditional funerals with a burial and for cremations.

The Apply for Financing link above takes you to a portal operated by Memorial Funding, an organization that works with about 30 lenders. Via the portal, you can apply for financing by answering a few questions and entering the required information, including income and other financials.

Phaneuf Funeral Homes and Crematorium receives no compensation from Memorial Funding. Phaneuf and Memorial Funding are not lenders, and do not participate in any aspect of you acquiring a loan.
