Nova Scotians Can Soon Buy Insurance For Pre-Arranged Funerals

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Jun, 2016 11:48 AM
    HALIFAX — The provincial government says Nova Scotians will soon be able to purchase insurance in funeral homes to fund pre-arranged funeral plans.
     
    Service Nova Scotia Minister Mark Furey says the amendments to the Cemetery and Funeral Services Act and the Embalmers and Funeral Directors Act will take effect in September.
     
    Furey says the changes give people the option to plan ahead, eliminating the worry of burdening their loved ones during an already difficult time.
     
    Adam Tipert, president of Sweeney's Funeral Home in Bridgewater, says the move also reduces administrative duties for funeral homes.
