Transferring a Pre-Need Funeral Policy to Red Rose Funeral Homes

Many families who’ve had meaningful experiences with Red Rose Funeral Homes have asked:
Can a pre-need funeral policy purchased through another funeral home be transferred to us?
The answer is: Yes — absolutely.

Funeral insurance policies belong to you, not the funeral home where the policy was written. You’re free to transfer your plan without needing to notify the original provider — no awkward conversations required.

Why Transfer to Red Rose?

We’re proud to offer affordable, dignified funeral services. In many cases, when families transfer their pre-need policies to us, they receive a refund because our prices are more competitive than those at other funeral homes. We’ve helped families save hundreds and even thousands of dollars — without compromising on care or quality.

How the Transfer Works

If a death has just occurred:
Please contact us immediately. We’ll accept your policy and honor it fully, giving you peace of mind during a difficult time.

If you're planning ahead or considering a transfer:
We’d be happy to meet with you in person or over the phone to discuss your existing policy.

The process is simple:

• The policyholder signs a short form changing the assignee to Red Rose Funeral Homes.
• Our team can help you complete the paperwork in just a few minutes.
• We’ll then honor all the details of your original plan — including specific casket choices, cremation preferences, and any selected service features.

We carry a full range of caskets and cremation urns that match or closely resemble what was specified in your original plan — including options for color, style, and decoration.

If your pre-arrangements include military honors, simply provide us with the veteran’s DD-214 form. We’ll coordinate directly with the appropriate veterans’ organizations to ensure honors are provided at the service.
