Yes!  The money you use to pre pay your Basic Traditions Option is not the property of the Benson Funeral Home 1439046 Ontario Inc. Your money is invested with Guaranteed Funeral Deposits of Canada Fraternal.  <a href="http://www.gfd.org" target="_blank">GFD.org</a>
<br><br>
This money is invested on your behalf in the amount of the funeral contract.  This money is held in trust until the time of need.  In the event of a shortfall of funds, your funeral is 100% guaranteed and you will never pay any more for the services that are listed on the contract.  (Additional services if required or requested at the time of need would be subject to charges at the current rates.) In the event there is an excess in funds, the estate is completely reimbursed for the difference.  You are entitled to enquire at any time as to the amount with interest being held in trust on your behalf.  You will receive adequate documentation as proof these funds have been invested.

Transferring of these arrangements is easily done. If at any time you wish to cancel or transfer your arrangements for what ever reason, you are entitled to do so and will not be harassed or bullied into keeping your arrangements with our firm.  Under Provincial Legislation we do reserve the right to withhold up to a maximum of $ 200.00 upon transfer or cancellation to cover administration costs.  We cannot also guarantee that any other funeral service provider will honor our contract price.  However your money is fully refunded with tax implications only pertaining to the interest portion of the investment.
