The great thing about the funeral bond is its flexibility, allowing you to change your wishes or add funds to your policy at any time. 

A pre-paid funeral can be opened in single or joint names. A pre-paid funeral can only be used for one funeral, so if the plan is held in both names, the money can only be used to pay for the expenses of the funeral arrangements of one service. To ensure that both joint applicants are covered for their funeral expenses, it is highly recommended that two pre-paid funeral plans are completed.
