Can I transfer a preneed from another funeral Home?   Yes, of course.

Your Preneed Insurance Policy is transferable to any Funeral Home.  Because the large funeral corporation, Alderwood's Group, owned Rains-Seale Funeral Home since 1997 most of the preneed policies written in the last 10 years were done so at greatly inflated costs.... rewriting your policy with us at much more affordable rates not only doesn't cost you anything but usually entitles you to substantial money back.  Remember, the preneed policy you took out belongs to you, not the funeral home.
