What is a Funeral Trust?

Why a Funeral Trust is a Key Part of Estate Planning – Mount Sinai Memorial Parks

Creating Your Mount Sinai Funeral Trust

Just as a tree selflessly provides shade and shelter, creating a Mount Sinai Funeral Trust now will protect, guide, educate and provide resources to those who matter most to you when most needed.

Your Funeral Trust Benefits

Creating a Funeral Trust allows you to give specific directions about how you want your services to be conducted while having the benefit of time for careful consideration. Most people do not realize that cemetery property and mortuary services are two separate entities, requiring numerous informed decisions at the time of need.

Protect

Protect those you love from the responsibility of making difficult emotional and financial decisions at a time when they are least equipped to do so.

Guide

Guide your loved ones by creating a Funeral Trust that gives specific directions about how you want your services to be conducted when you have the benefit of time for careful consideration.

Educate

Educate and preserve meaningful details about your life and family that might otherwise be lost.

Provide

Provide for those who “don’t know what they don’t know”.
A Funeral Trust not only defines the type of funeral service but also funds and offers documented selections.

Empower

Mount Sinai’s Funeral Trust was created to empower you with the opportunity to make choices today to protect your family in the future.

The Reality Most Families Face

Most people do not realize that cemetery property and mortuary services are two separate entities. Mortuary services are neither selected nor is the cost covered with the purchase of property and require numerous informed decisions at the time of need. Without proper planning, your family will face difficult emotional and financial decisions when they are least equipped to do so.

Your Trust Grows While You Wait

It is difficult to anticipate cost escalations for goods and services to be used at a future date. This is why Mount Sinai’s Funeral Trust is an interest earning fund that yields 3% interest per year paid into your Funeral Trust.

3% Annual Interest

Your trust earns 3% interest every year, helping to offset future cost increases and inflation.

Matching Credit Bonus

If you allow the 3% interest to compound, Mount Sinai will add a matching credit of the total accrued interest at the time of need.

Your Legacy of Knowledge

A Memorial Record and Guide is a confidential document incorporated into your Funeral Trust that includes essential information such as your vital statistics along with recorded answers to personal and family history questions that may be long forgotten or not known by family members. This valuable reference preserves meaningful details about your life and family that might otherwise be lost and ensures your personal data is correct and all arrangements are completed with accuracy and in accordance with California Law. This record is a legacy of knowledge about you and prior generations.

Mount Sinai is committed to honoring the deceased and taking care of the living. Every effort is made for Mount Sinai’s Funeral Trust to align with your intention to provide for your family.
