Here are some of the items covered by your NSS Life Burial Trust (There are hundreds more)
Choose ANY funeral home, cemetery, mortuary, or crematory ANYWHERE in the world and your Trust works the same. With pre-need the plan only works as you want it at one place (perhaps). If you do not use a burial trust and you change your mind with your guarantees change or disappear all together.
With the Burial Trust, policy proceeds are paid to the trust. Trustee then pays your funeral costs. Any excess funds are returned to your estate. This is not true for many other preplanning tools. The Trustee is a fiduciary and will only pay for your actual funeral cost which protects your family from overspending or losing money in the accounting.
Here is a stark comparison of how much less an NSS Burial Trust is compared to the average pre-need. A non-smoking lady age 60 wished to establish a $10,000 plan. A 10 year payment pre-need would be about $151 per month! The same benefit stretched over 20 years with NSS Life's Burial Trust would only cost $40 per month. The Trust would cost $111 LESS per month. The TOTAL payments would be 50% less with the NSS Burial Trust!
