What happens to my money after I pre-pay for cremation?
When you prepay for cremation with Magnolia, your money is securely placed in a state-regulated trust or insurance policy — and is legally protected until the time of need.
It’s never held by us directly, and it can only be used for the cremation services you selected.
🔐 How Your Funds Are Protected:
In Indiana:
Prepaid funds are placed in the MasterChoice Trust Fund, a secure, interest-bearing account regulated by the state.
- Held by Fifth Third Bank
- Managed by independent financial advisors
- Funds grow over time to help offset inflation
- Released only when cremation services are provided
In Kentucky:
Your funds are protected through a preneed insurance policy with National Guardian Life (NGL) — one of the nation’s most trusted funeral insurance providers.
- Rated A (“Excellent”) by AM Best
- Fully portable — your plan stays valid even if you move
- Legally protected and Medicaid-exempt (won’t count against eligibility)
✅ Why This Matters:
- We never hold your money directly — it’s kept safe in your name
- It cannot be accessed early by any party (including Magnolia)
- Your cremation is guaranteed, no matter how much prices increase
- Your family is protected from unexpected costs and confusion
