How often should prepaid funeral arrangements be reviewed?

As part of the arrangement review, a person can document preferences, choose a decision maker where state law allows, organize vital records, and set aside funds without entering a prepaid funeral contract. For this funeral planning decision, if prepaying, review which prices are guaranteed, how funds are held, cancellation and transfer rules, what happens if the provider closes, and whether merchandise or services can change. When provider prices and rules are examined, funeral instructions should be stored somewhere the family can access immediately rather than relying only on a will.
