Plan Ahead.
Protect Your Family.

Pre-planning a funeral is one of the most loving things a veteran can do for their family. It removes financial burden, ensures your wishes are honored, and ensures every benefit you've earned is claimed.

Lock In Today's Prices

Funeral costs have increased 20%+ over the past decade. Pre-planning locks in current prices, protecting your family from inflation.

Lift the Burden

Grieving families make expensive decisions under emotional stress. Pre-planning removes that burden entirely — decisions are made, wishes are documented.

Ensure Benefits Are Claimed

Families who pre-plan are far more likely to properly claim all VA burial benefits, military honors, and cemetery eligibility their veteran earned.

The Math

The VA Covers a Fraction of the True Cost

The VA burial allowance ($978–$2,000) sounds meaningful — until you see that the average funeral costs $7,000–$13,000 depending on your state. That gap falls on your family.

A preneed funeral insurance policy fills that gap, pays directly to the funeral home at time of need, and costs less than most families expect.

Calculate Your Gap →
Average funeral cost (U.S.) $9,500
VA burial allowance − $978
Free headstone (est. value) − $490
Remaining family burden $8,032
