What is a pre-paid funeral?
A pre-paid funeral allows you to choose and pay the funeral costs in advance for your own or a loved one’s funeral. It is a convenient and financially sound way to approach your funeral arrangements. Your pre-paid contract will set out all the relevant details of the choices you have made together with the costs.

Benefits of prepaying your funeral
A pre-paid funeral provides security of knowing that if you prepay your funeral costs at today’s prices you are protected against future price increases. The average cost of a funeral in Australia has risen significantly in recent years and there is every likelihood that this trend could continue into the future.
You will provide your family with peace of mind at the time of your passing. They will have comfort in knowing that you have everything is in place and organised.

You will be remembered the way you would like to be remembered. By having direct input into what style of funeral you would like ensures that you can customise it to be exactly how you would like it to be.

A pre-paid funeral is more cost-effective than funeral insurance assuming that you live for another 3 or so years after you complete your pre-paid funeral. It’s basically like putting your money in a trust fund to pay for your funeral in Australia at today’s price.
