Transferring Your Pre-existing Funeral Arrangements to Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center


Did you know you can transfer your preplanned funeral arrangements to a different funeral home if your needs or preferences change?


At Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, we believe everyone deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their end-of-life wishes are honored, wherever they choose. Minnesota state law provides this flexibility by allowing prepaid funeral arrangements to be transferred to any funeral home. So, if you’re considering making a change, here’s everything you need to know about transferring your pre-existing arrangements.


What is the Difference Between Prearrangements and Preneed (or Prepaid) Plans?


When it comes to planning ahead, there’s a distinction between informal prearrangements and formal preneed or prepaid plans:


  • Prearrangements involve making preliminary decisions about a funeral without financial commitment.
  • Preneed or prepaid arrangements mean both preplanning and prepaying for services and goods in advance.


Knowing this difference helps you make the best choice when transferring to a new funeral home.


Why Consider Transferring Your Arrangements?


Families choose to transfer their preplanning arrangements for many reasons: moving to a new area, feeling more comfortable with a different provider, an ownership change at your previous funeral provider, or simply wanting a more personal touch. At Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, we’ve helped many local families through this process, offering personalized guidance every step of the way.


At Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, we are also able to lock in the cost of your pre-arrangements, something no other local funeral home is offering at this time.


How Easy is It to Transfer My Preplanning Arrangements?


It’s remarkably easy! All it takes is signing a single document. You don’t need to worry about complicated steps or reaching out to your former provider – we take care of that for you. Just let your family know of your new arrangements with Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, and we’ll handle the rest.
