A Program Designed to Educate — Not Pressure

Many families know they should talk about final wishes, funeral expenses, insurance, important documents and Veteran benefits.

They simply don't know where to begin.

Our educational programs create a comfortable environment where people can ask questions, learn what they should be thinking about, and leave with practical information they can actually use.

Attendees are never required to purchase anything.

What We Cover

Participants learn how to think through important questions such as:

  • What do I want for my final arrangements?

  • Does my family know my wishes?

  • What could those arrangements cost?

  • What insurance, benefits or resources do I already have?

  • Could there be a financial gap?

  • What important information would my family need if something happened to me?

  • Where can I go for additional help or verified information?

The Goal Is Preparation — Not Pressure.

Two Programs. One Mission.

Designed for senior centers, retirement communities, libraries, churches, community organizations and other groups serving older adults and their families.

Topics may include:

  • Final wishes and family communication

  • Funeral, burial and cremation expenses

  • Understanding existing life insurance

  • Identifying potential financial gaps

  • Organizing important information

  • Planning tools families can use immediately

Veteran & Family Planning Program

Designed for VFW posts, American Legion posts, DAV chapters, Veteran organizations, community groups and organizations serving Veterans and their families.

The Veteran program includes the core family-planning topics plus education about:

  • Veteran burial and memorial resources

  • Important eligibility questions

  • National, state and private cemetery considerations

  • Burial allowances and other potential resources

  • Where Veterans and families can verify benefits

  • Identifying expenses that may still remain

Important: Trusted Final Expenses does not determine eligibility for Veteran benefits. Benefits should always be verified through the Department of Veterans Affairs or the appropriate federal, state or local Veteran resource.
