Pre-planning is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for the people you love. It removes the burden of difficult decisions from your family during an already painful time, ensures your wishes are clearly documented, and locks in today's pricing — protecting against future cost increases.

Pre-planning with Everfare is simple. You complete a brief online form documenting your wishes, review and sign a pre-arrangement agreement, and optionally pre-fund your arrangement. The entire process takes about 15–20 minutes and can be done from home.

Pre-funded arrangements through Everfare are transferable. If you move to a state where Everfare operates, your arrangement moves with you. If you move to a state where we do not yet serve, we will work with you to transfer your funds to a trusted provider in your new location.

Yes. You can update your pre-arranged plans at any time. Simply contact our care team and we will walk you through any changes. Pre-funded arrangements can also be cancelled for a full refund within the timeframe specified in your agreement.
