Unique Child Loss Protection Plan
Norwalk Union Cemetery offers this plan to give additional peace of mind to young growing families.
Should a death occur to a child of an advance of need (pre-need) purchaser, the purchaser may receive for the child, the same item purchased by the parent(s) or items appropriate to the age of the child, up to a $10,000 retail value.
The child must be between the ages of 1 and 21, unmarried, living at home or at college. Coverage would also be provided if the child were living with a grandparent(s) or living with a legal guardian.
To receive this, the account must be current with no installments overdue more than 30 days. In other words, paid up to date. The child protection plan is voided if any payments are in arrears.
