PRE-NEED PLANNING

Why Pre-Plan?
Boca Jewish Funerals provides pre-need planning and honors prearrangements from most local funeral homes often paying cash back to the families. Pre-need arrangements guarantee the affordability of today's prices in an uncertain future. At Boca Jewish Funerals, we can help you plan for a meaningful graveside, synagogue or alternative funeral service. For more then a decade, owner and funeral director Garrett Jacobs has arranged more than 5,000 funeral services, and is now able to do so at prices significantly less than others, while providing compassionate care to families before, during and after their time of need.
With payment plans and the guarantee of the lowest prices of any South Florida Jewish funeral business, we encourage you to plan ahead with Boca Jewish Funerals.

About Pre-Planning
In the wake of a loss, family members are sometimes overwhelmed with grief and sadness. Unfortunately, at this time of emotional upheaval they will be required to make countless important decisions. The responsibility of making funeral arrangements is a significant one. If you have not been clear about your final wishes, if your family has to guess what you "would have wanted," the process becomes even more difficult.

Pre-arrangements, commonly known as a PrePlan™, can remove all the guesswork. A PrePlan™ allows you to make sensitive decisions and thoughtful choices about your funeral — and put them in writing — when you are relaxed and thinking clearly. In consultation with our professional directors, you will be able to review all your options and establish a permanent record of your preferences. The peace of mind that comes from making final decisions ahead of time is a great gift to your family and a generous gift to leave behind.

Personal Guidance
At Boca Jewish Funerals, our directors and counselors are here to personally guide you through the pre-arrangement. You will be speaking with professional people who provide funeral services tailored to your specific needs. We can arrange for a confidential PrePlan™ conference, at your convenience, with a member of our staff. There is no charge and no obligation for this meeting.

Financial Consideration
No matter where you establish your PrePlan™ account, it allows you to freeze the price of the funeral services you choose at today's prices. With funeral costs rising an average of 5% per year, pre-arrangements are a hedge against inflation and should be a cornerstone of your personal financial plan.

By pre-arranging a funeral through Boca Jewish Funerals, you can be assured that your wishes will be carried out as you specifically expressed. In addition, we are able to guarantee that the price you pay now will provide the services you select, no matter when they need to be provided. We have flexible payment programs and any of our qualified funeral directors can explain in detail how this plan can fit into your financial planning. And in today's ever-changing economic environment, there are times when asset management becomes critically important. Many people need to use the services of nursing homes and sometimes need to apply for various forms of public assistance. In each of these instances, a pre-paid, guaranteed funeral trust or an insurance policy from Boca Jewish Funerals can be used to meet the financial restrictions that some of these benefits impose.

Pre-Plan Transfers
In most instances you can transfer your previously purchased pre-arranged funeral to us. We honor any local funeral home’s contract prices for services and refundable merchandise, and if their prices are higher then ours you will save the difference. Please speak with a Boca Jewish Funerals professional for more information.
