Q:
My parents have paid pre-arrangement
funeral contracts in Florida. They have
moved back to Michigan, so we can best
manage their care. Can we apply those
dollars to arrangements in Detroit?
A:
I need to see copieS Of the
pre-arrangement contracts and will
work with their Florida funeral home
to obtain the maximum refund available.
A separate contract would be required
for burial in our community.
