Why Do Families Choose Funeral Advantage?
The mission of Funeral Advantage is to help make sure things go smoothly and easily for the loved ones in charge of your funeral arrangements. Funeral Advantage is not a pre-payment plan nor does it utilize a network of funeral homes or cemeteries. What makes Funeral Advantage unlike any other final expense policy is its partnership with the Funeral Consumer Guardian Society® (FCGS). The Funeral Consumer Guardian Society (FCGS) is an independent senior consumer advocate organization that is not affiliated with any religion, funeral home, cemetery, or any particular funeral approach – giving you maximum flexibility. There is never any obligation or pressure to buy anything as a member.
Funeral Advantage Benefits
Without a plan to follow, those who will be handling your final arrangements are very likely to end up overspending by hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Your loved ones may even have to go into debt as a result. Every Lincoln Heritage Funeral Advantage policy comes with a number of benefits that separate it from other life insurance plans. Funeral Advantage helps surviving loved ones in charge of funeral arrangements cope with the many details that immediately arise, so everything goes smoothly during a time of intense emotions and stress. We’re here to help members save money on their funeral, yet still have the quality funeral they desire —without putting any financial burden on family or friends.
