More and more people today are choosing to Pre-Plan and Pre-Pay for their funeral. There are many benefits. You spare your family all the details and financial headaches of planning and paying for your funeral at the time of your death. You lock in tomorrow's funeral costs at today's prices. Funeral assets are spared the expense of lengthy, costly illness and nursing home care. Most importantly, you get the type of funeral and memorialization you want.

Rux Funeral Homes have joined forces with Pekin Insurance as a Pekin Insurance Pathway Agency representing Pekin Life Insurance Company's Life Insurance and Annuity products developed exclusively for the funeral industry. As agents for Pekin Insurance, and licensed insurance producers with the Illinois Department of Insurance, Rux Funeral Directors work with local families wishing to pre-arrange and pre-fund a family member's funeral arrangements. Once a funeral pre-arrangement is complete, and the funeral is paid for, those funds paid in advance for the funeral are then placed in the Pekin Life Insurance Trust and are available for use at the time of the funeral.

Pekin Insurance and Rux Funeral Homes are a perfect match. Our founding firm opened its doors years ago. Pekin Insurance started nearly a century ago and is the only Illinois multi-line insurance company with products exclusively for the funeral industry. Our Henry County families know the Pekin Insurance and Rux names and the quality they represent. We like the fact that pre-planning funds paid by our families stay in Illinois until they are needed.

Contact us with any questions you have about pre-planning and pre-funding your funeral. We will be happy to meet with you in your home or at the funeral home. Your family will thank you.
