Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure the funeral home won't charge my loved ones more at the time of my funeral?
Neidhard-Minges Funeral Home is contractually obligated to provide all of the service and merchandise included in your Neidhard-Minges Advance Funeral Plan. The only change would be if the survivors would wish to purchase any merchandise or service in addition to the prearranged plan.
What if the cost of the funeral service I prepay is greatly increased in actual cost at the time of my death?
By contract, Neidhard-Minges Funeral Home can never charge more for any of the services and merchandise that you have chosen to be included in your Neidhard-Minges Advance Funeral Plan, no matter how many years prior to use your plan was established.
What if your funeral home is no longer in business at the time of my death?
Because your money is held in a certified Trust governed by Ohio law, it will always be there for your funeral, even if Neidhard-Minges Funeral Home were to be purchased or go out of business,
What if my family moves out of the area before I die? Do we lose the money paid to Neidhard-Minges?
Should you move outside of our service area, your Neidhard-Minges Advance Funeral Plan provides for your funeral at the funeral home of your choice.
Won't my life insurance benefits cover all my funeral expenses?
It may, but aren't your life insurance benefits intended for your spouse's security or your child's education? Also, the cost of a funeral continues to rise, while you rlife insurance benefits don't increase over time.
Doesn't Social Security provide a death benefit?
Social Security provides a lump-sum payment of only $255, and only of you qualify! Well below the cost of any funeral.
Can Neidhard-Minges ever cancel my Advance Funeral Plan?

Shouldn't I wait until I'm older to deal with this?
No. The younger you are, the more you have to gain. Prices will continue to rise until you freeze your costs by your purchase.
How do I know you will really put my money in a Trust?
