Should I prepay my funeral?

Prepaying is a personal choice. Prepaid funeral funds go into an account in your name and are held until the time of death. Interest accumulates tax free in your funeral account. This interest goes towards your funeral whenever you die. Regardless of price increases to your arrangements at the time, you will not pay more. If the price increases are greater than the accumulated interest, we cover the difference. If the price increases are less, we return the difference to your estate. The benefits are that you take care of your own funeral, if that's something you are in a position to do. We also offer time payment options from over several months to over ten years, instead of paying all at once

The Baby Behind the Brand

In the small coastal town of Killyleagh, County Down, Ireland, there lived a family. This was Baby James’ family. His parents decided to leave Ireland for Canada. Why? We don’t know. It was 1829 or 1831, before the tragic Potato Famine of 1845-52.

187 years ago, Baby James was sleeping, crying, cooing and burping in Killyleagh, County Down, in the North of Ireland. Then he and his family, Mother Mary, Father, Sister Eliza and Brother Sam, got on a ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.....
