At present the James Reid Funeral Home offers a variety of options for preplanning that are designed to meet specific and personal needs.
Prearrangements may be made in advance without financing them. In this case the choices are filed at the funeral home, and at the time of need, the services are provided at the current prevailing costs.
Funeral arrangements may also be prepaid and held in trust through a trust company, Scotia Bank, or a program offered through Unity Life - Funeral Plans Canada. Through this group program a one-time payment and a multiple payment plan are available. Pre-authorized chequing can be arranged. Prepaid funds, and accumulated interest, are protected by current legislation. Prepaid funeral plans apply the total funds prepaid, along with all accumulated interest, towards the current cost of the funeral at the time of need. Once the payments for a preplanned funeral program commence, the services and selected merchandise are guaranteed against inflation.
Current advertising campaigns on television and unsolicited contact by insurance agents may be confusing. Purchasing a policy, regardless of what it is called, from an independent insurance broker will NOT guarantee funeral costs. ONLY arrangements made through an established funeral home have prices guaranteed.
The James Reid Funeral Home also offers a guaranteed travel assurance plan, which is designed to provide transfer protection in the case of death.
