Pre-planning ensures that your wishes are precisely followed, while your family is not burdened with the task of making emotionally difficult decisions. Funding can be arranged to cover funeral costs so that no financial burden remains. If you simply wish to make your choices in advance and keep them on file, we are happy to help you with this at no charge.

While pre-planning your funeral is the foundation for a variety of planning options, individuals also find pre-paying to be advantageous, both personally and financially. Pre-paying helps to ensure that the financial responsibility for funeral costs is not placed on your family members. Completing this in advance relieves survivors from paying for these costs.

Many realize too late that the government allows you to pre-pay all funeral expenses before financial resources are depleted in preparation for Medicaid. We work closely with Medicaid to ensure that your pre-arranged funeral meets their requirements… It makes a great deal of sense to pre-pay funeral costs, especially in New York State. When you select the kind of funeral arrangements you want, you are not only relieving your loved ones of these difficult decisions, but also wisely placing your monies in a secure account. You are protected. More than any other state, consumers in New York who pre-fund their funerals have their pre-need funds protected by what are truly the strongest laws in the nation. These laws, which funeral directors worked to put in place, require that such funds be deposited in an interest-bearing trust account where the principal and interest remain the property of the consumer. At Vay-Schleich & Meeson Funeral Home, our family offers price-guaranteed funeral plans that lock the funeral price in at todaỳs rates, eliminating the effects/costs of inflation. Your investment is also protected if you move or your death occurs away from home. We would be honored to talk with you. Please call us at (585) 227-2700 to make arrangements in person with one of our caring, professional funeral directors. We will be glad to explain options and answer any questions on Social Security, Veterans̀ Benefits, Death Benefits, or any other question or concern you may have. As always there is no obligation for any information that you may need. We are here to serve you anytime. With online Arrangements, you can take your time selecting the arrangements which are best for your preferences and budget. Explore different options until you find those that are right for you.
