Can I transfer my prefinanced funeral agreement to a different funeral home?
Yes, you can. Make sure that your agreement is with a funeral home–and not a cemetery, as trusting laws are quite different–as is explained in the two brochures offered by the Kansas State Board of Mortuary Arts. If your prefinanced agreement is funded with insurance, then it will be necessary to obtain a change of beneficiary application from the insurance company holding the policy. If your agreement is funded via trust, certificate of deposit, savings account . . . then you will need to write the financial institution to make your request known. They should then provide you with the appropriate documents to make such a change. If this request is made after death occurs, then it becomes more complicated — but it is still possible.
