R.L. Leintz Funeral Home is a licensed funeral home offering plans for prearranged funerals. You may wish to simply record your wishes in writing with the funeral home, or completely plan and pre-fund a funeral.
If you wish to also fund the funeral costs, the funding can take place in a number of ways:
- Assigning an existing life insurance policy to the funeral home.
- Fund the funeral expenses in full at that time of prearranging.
- Fund the funeral expenses at a later date.
If a person wishes to pre-fund a funeral it should be noted that Kansas is what is referred to as a "100% Trust State". This means that all funds for a prearranged funeral must be placed in a third party trust account and not held by the funeral home. The funds would be deposited at a financial institution or with an insurance company. The funds deposited still belong to the beneficiary/purchaser. All growth or interest should remain in the account so the fund may accrue in order for the funeral home to issue a guarantee at the time of the purchase.
