You certainly can, and some people do. This approach has advantages and disadvantages.
When you pre-pay for your funeral, you get to personalize it to your taste. You can meet different funeral directors and visit various funeral homes until you find one you like. You can pick out the preferred casket and the favorite plot in the cemetery. Another advantage of pre-paying is that it will most likely prompt you to discuss your choices with loved ones, leaving them more confident that they know your wishes.
Before you pre-pay, check your state guidelines for how the money will be held until your death. Make sure you know what you’re paying for. Most importantly, are you locking in the rate for your funeral, or is there a chance your family would face an up-charge when the time comes?
If you do any pre-planning or pre-payment, it’s important to tell a loved one what you did and where you keep the documentation.
The disadvantage of pre-payment is that it’s less flexible than burial insurance.
Will you or your family be able to get a refund if your funeral plans change?
Will you lose the money you pre-paid if you move to a different area?
What happens if the funeral parlor goes out of business?
With final expense insurance, your surviving loved ones will receive a payout they can spend anywhere. If you want to leave a clear indication of your wishes without necessarily locking in the funeral home, you could always combine burial insurance with a document stating your preferences. Kept wherever you keep your will and most important documents.

As a User of Navigator Software or any other products, you acknowledge that you understand Navigator will be collecting information from you, some of which may be personally identifiable information, and by accessing and using Navigator, you consent to the collection and use of that information in accordance with this Policy. This Privacy Policy details how Navigator safeguards the privacy of its on-line visitors and does not apply to information that may be collected by Navigator off-line. Please note that when you link to other sites from a Navigator or Navigator website, this Privacy Policy does not apply to, and cannot control the activities on, those other sites.

We endeavor to maintain accurate Personal Information collected from our Users and are grateful for your assistance in maintaining the accuracy of that information while you remain a User of Navigator, or any other products.

Note to Parents or Guardians of Children Under 13
Once a child states that his/her age is under 13, we do not collect or store any personally identifiable information such as name, address, or email address. We recognize a special obligation to protect personal information about young children. We urge parents to instruct their children to never give out their real names, addresses, or phone numbers, without permission, when on-line.

What are cookies and how do you use them?
Cookies are a feature of your Web browser that allows Web sites to transfer bits of information to your computer for record-keeping purposes. A cookie stored on your computer can be used to “remember” things like your password, or that you have already registered. This allows us to speed up your future activities, saving the time you would normally spend entering information such as your password or registration. In addition, Navigator may use cookies to retrieve user information for promotional, marketing, or security purposes.
What are Internet protocol addresses?
An Internet protocol (“IP”) address is the unique number assigned to your server or Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). Navigator may track such IP addresses for system administration, to report aggregate information, site tracking, or to prevent our servers from being abused.
How secure is my personal information?
Navigator has taken steps to assure that all information collected will remain secure and in its original form, i.e. free from any alteration. As such, access to all personal information is strictly controlled. When credit card information is transmitted, for example, we use industry standard, SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to assure that third parties to whom we transfer any data will provide sufficient protection of personal information. Although we believe these security procedures are adequately designed to protect such information from unauthorized access, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet and we cannot absolutely guarantee that there will never be any such unauthorized access. For changes to personal information, questions, or complaints
If for any reason you are concerned with the way we are using your Personal Information, would like to correct or request that we delete such personal information, have other questions or wish to file a complaint, please contact us at privacy@navigatorgroup.org.
