Your perpetual care fund is one of your cemetery's most valuable assets—but is it adequately protected?

Many cemetery professionals assume their perpetual care funds are untouchable. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. During lawsuits, financial distress, bankruptcy proceedings, or other legal challenges involving a cemetery or its affiliated organization, perpetual care funds can become a target if there isn't sufficient documentation proving every dollar is committed to future maintenance obligations.

Join industry expert Hayden Burrus for this important free webinar and learn how a properly prepared perpetual care fund study can help safeguard your cemetery's financial future.

During this informative session, Hayden will explain:

• How a perpetual care fund balance sheet forecast helps determine whether your fund is adequately capitalized
• How long-range financial forecasting can identify potential funding shortfalls decades—even a century—before they become a problem
• Steps cemetery leaders can take today to better protect their perpetual care funds for generations to come
