Some people worry about how their funeral account will be paid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pre-paid funeral trust allows money to be set aside in a specially created trust that is accessed when the time comes to pay funeral expenses. Note that these funds go TOWARDS THE COST OF THE FUNERAL. That the payment is not THE cost of the funeral.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced payments for funerals cannot be accepted unless the monies are paid into a Pre-paid Funeral Trust; thereby clients funds are held by an independent company and not by The Lychway Funeral Directors or any of its companies bank accounts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company utilizes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the first Instance The FDANZ Funeral Trust.
