THE
NEW JERSEY PREPAID FUNERAL TRUST FUND™
How
Does It Work?
You meet with
a participating funeral home, select the funeral goods and services
you desire, and complete trust fund paperwork. The funeral director
then forwards the completed paperwork, along with your check to
the Trust Fund. The check is immediately deposited and an acknowledgement
of receipt is forwarded to you the following business day.
Each year the
Trust Fund sends you an annual summary statement of your account’s
principal and interest earned, together with the Internal Revenue
Service-required Grantor Letter for tax reporting.
The interest
received by the Trust Fund will vary with money market rates, and
the Trustees will only place those funds into FDIC insured bank
deposits.
An advantage
of using the New Jersey Prepaid Funeral Trust Fund™ is that
it is immediately available upon death for payment of funeral expenses.
Unlike traditional savings accounts which may close or become inaccessible
at the time of death, this account becomes payable.
