Pre-planning and pre-paid funeral contracts

Funerals, Cremation & Grief

Says it covers the whole Cape

More details

Arranging and paying for a funeral in advance. Beyond sparing your family the decisions, an irrevocable pre-need contract is not counted as an asset for MassHealth.

Funeral homes must give you an itemised price list if you ask; it is federal law. 'Irrevocable' is the word that matters for MassHealth planning — ask an elder law attorney before signing.

Cost
Varies widely — get itemised prices from three homes
How to start
Get itemised prices from a few funeral homes and read the state Buyer's Guide to Pre-Need Funeral Contracts before signing
For older adults
Massachusetts gives you 10 days after signing to cancel a pre-need contract without penalty.
