Tribute Preneed Reader

How it works

For funeral directors who inherit preneed contracts sold years ago, sometimes by another funeral home, and for families who find one in a parent's papers. Upload the preneed (prearranged or prepaid funeral) contract and its insurance policy or trust papers as a PDF or photos, or paste the text, and say whether you're the funeral home or the family. Tribute Preneed Reader explains it in plain English: who sold it, who it's for, and whether it's funded by a trust, insurance or an annuity. It separates the goods and services whose prices are guaranteed from those that aren't, lists the cash advance items, and the app adds them up, works out what the payment plan costs in total, and what a cancellation would refund. It explains what happens if the money grows more or less than prices, whether it's revocable or irrevocable (often for Medicaid), how to move it to another funeral home or state, what happens if an item isn't available or they pass away far from home, and lists anything worth a closer look. Preneed rules vary by state; it reports what the contract says and isn't legal advice.
