Common Questions About Pre-Plannig

Clear answers to help you make confident decisions

We know that pre-planning a funeral can feel overwhelming, and it’s natural to have questions along the way. To make the process easier, we’ve gathered answers to some of the most common questions families ask when considering funeral pre-arrangements.

Why should I pre-plan my funeral?

Pre-planning allows you to make your wishes known, lock in today’s prices, and spare your loved ones from having to make difficult decisions during a time of grief.

Do I have to pay in advance?

No, pre-planning does not require pre-payment. However, many families choose to pre-pay in order to secure current pricing and protect against rising costs.

What if I move or my plans change?

Your pre-arrangements can be updated if your wishes change. If you move, your plan can often be transferred to another funeral home, giving you flexibility and peace of mind. Learn more about transferring your pre-paid arrangements to Bocchinfuso Funeral Home.

Can I personalize my funeral plan?

Absolutely. Pre-planning is your opportunity to reflect your personality, values, and traditions. From music and readings to receptions and keepsakes, your service can be as unique as your life.

Is my money protected if I pre-pay?

Yes. In Ontario, all pre-paid funeral funds are held in trust or secured by insurance, as required by law. This ensures your investment is safeguarded until it is needed.

What if I already have insurance?

Life insurance can help cover funeral expenses, but it does not guarantee prices or provide detailed planning. Pre-planning ensures your wishes are clearly documented and financially protected.
