Paying Funeral, Cremation & Burial Bills With Flexible Financing
When planning a funeral, cremation or burial, there are hundreds of details to consider and choices to make. Instead of a personal loan, consider the CareCredit credit card to help fit the cost of a funeral, cremation or burial into your budget. When you pay over time, payment is easier to manage.
When the need arises, use your CareCredit credit card at funeral homes, crematories and cemeteries in the CareCredit network. You can pay for any of the services they offer.
Services and products that may be provided by your funeral home or cemetery include:
- Services of the funeral director and staff
- Transportation, care and preparation of your loved one
- Spaces for a viewing, celebration of life or funeral, and reception
- Clergy member or funeral celebrant to lead the funeral service
- Catering, food and receptions
- Personal touches like flowers, keepsakes and gestures like a butterfly release
- Casket, urn or printed materials, such as funeral programs and a register book
- Remembrance items like cremation jewelry and artwork
- Cemetery opening and closing fees
- A headstone, monument or marker
- A burial plot, cremation niche or space in a mausoleum
