Pre-need

A death has occurred, leaving a family member or friend to make all the difficult decisions of arranging a funeral. Coping with the loss of a loved one is always difficult. Most have little idea of what is involved, what the costs are, and, most importantly, what final arrangements the deceased would have wanted. Pre-planning a funeral relieves the burden from your family.
When a loved one dies, the anxieties and stress of making funeral arrangements can be an overwhelming emotional responsibility. In addition, the costs involved can leave a tremendous financial burden on your surviving family members. Today, more and more people are pre-arranging their funerals.

In New York State 100% of the money from pre-funded funerals must be placed in a FDIC account. Funds are placed in U.S. Government Securities, FDIC insured bank accounts, certificate of deposits, money market funds, and other investments permitted by law in a bank within the State of New York.

The funeral directors at Sherman's Flatbush Memorial Chapel, Inc. will guide you through all phases of the pre-arrangements, so that when the time comes, all your family will have to do is make
                                  a telephone call to us. All of your final wishes will be carried out.

                                  If you are applying for financial assistance under SSI/Medicaid, you can pre-pay for all
                                  funeral expenses. The law allows you the opportunity to pay for the funeral before using all
                                  your assets.

Effective January 1, 1997, New York State Law mandates that all contracts for pre-funded funerals executed by applicants for recipients of Medicaid be Irrevocable.
