What is Funeral Financing?

A funeral loan is a personal installment loan that you use to help pay for end-of-life services. When you are approved for funeral financing, you’ll receive a lump sum of funds that you repay over time with predictable monthly payments.

Families often use emergency funeral loans to pay for burials, cremations, flowers, travel, and other related arrangements. Since these expenses are time-sensitive, funeral financing assistance can help you move forward without the burden of financial uncertainty.

How to Apply for a Funeral Loan

You can apply for funeral loans 24/7 on our website or in person at a local branch. We also welcome you to contact us during business hours to provide application details over the phone.

To obtain funeral financing, you’ll need to provide us with a valid ID, proof of residence, proof of income, and employment details. We simplify the process of finding a loan for funeral expenses to alleviate unnecessary stress, so you always know what to expect and are never surprised by confusing terms or hidden fees.
Loan applicants can receive a follow up as soon as half an hour after submitting their application. Offers are made on the basis of debt-to-income ratio, among other previously stated factors, instead of an individual credit score. We understand that there is more to financial eligibility than your credit, and we evaluate all of these factors to give applicants a better chance of getting approved.
