The Time to Start
Preparing is Now!
More and more Pastors are having to tap into their personal finances and burden their congregation for an extra offering to bury their members. If one of your church members does not have insurance, you will be forced to "pass the hat" for that loyal member.
This is happening everyday in churches all over the United States and chances are you have faced the same reality. When a church member dies, the cost of that death can have a significant impact on your congregation if they are not financially prepared.
For the average person, funeral expenses are among the largest expenditures after the purchase of a home and a vehicle. Coupled with the high cost of education and retirement, if a family does not have prearranged funeral expenses or insurance, valuable resources that should be allocated to the living are expended on the dead.
Family members will often resort to going into more debt by mortgaging their homes, selling property, pawning, etc. to bury that family member. Don't let this happen to you or your church members ... THERE IS A SOLUTION!
The benefits are win win for the church and its members. There are several ways your members can make a charitable donation and not force the church to finance, or "pass the hat" at the time of death.
