Heading South or West for the winter? ❄️🌴
Planning your holiday vacation cruise? 🚢
Visiting family and friends for Thanksgiving or Christmas? 🎄🍂
Taking a shopping trip to Chicago or beyond? 🛍️✈️

While you’re planning these adventures, don’t forget to plan ahead with your Out of Area Protection (OAP) Plan.

Dan & Dawn Hoffman at Pray Funeral Home can help you secure your plan in just five minutes. For a one-time payment of $499 per person, you’re covered for life. Whether you’re traveling across the state, the country, or the world, OAP ensures you’ll be brought back home at no additional cost if the unforeseen happens.

Without OAP, families could face thousands of dollars in unexpected expenses. With OAP, you gain peace of mind that lasts a lifetime.

As American Express once said, “Don’t leave home without it.” We say, “Don’t leave home without your OAP.”

For more information, call Dan and Dawn Hoffman at 517-543-2950.
