Prepaid
Arranging a prepaid funeral is becoming an increasingly popular option due to the many benefits that it provides.
Pre-plan your own funeral
Relieve your family of the burden of arranging your funeral while also creating the send-off that suits your preferences.
Pre-plan a loved-one’s funeral
When the time comes, you’ll be glad you don’t have to worry about hurriedly getting the family to agree to all the funeral details. It’s sensible to preplan it when you’re in a better emotional state.
How does it work?
A prepaid funeral allows arrangements to be planned in advance, with costs calculated using current pricing and payments made either upfront or in installments. The money is invested in a government-regulated managed funeral fund and is paid to the funeral director after the funeral has been provided. The arrangement is covered by a legal contract that complies with the NSW Funeral Funds Act, and the funds cannot be accessed until the funeral takes place. If the selected arrangements or pricing change in the future, additional costs may apply.
Can I preplan a funeral but not prepay?
Yes, definitely! You can speak with Deborah, our funeral director, who will take you through the process of preplanning a funeral and she will record the arrangements and store them for when they are needed. You will also receive a copy, so you can give it to your family, or have them stored with your will, if you wish.
Do you charge for preplanning a funeral?
No, it’s free. We’re happy to help you plan the funeral.
Can I prepay funeral costs instalments?
Yes, you can pay for a pre-paid Funeral may be made in one lump sum or through a payment plan.
How will pre-paying for a funeral affect pension entitlements?
No it won’t affect your pension. Pre-paying for a funeral is treated like any other expense, such as buying new furniture, even though the money will actually be placed in an investment with a 3rd party managed funeral fund.
Prepaying for your funeral is better than investing the money yourself because, if you were to invest that money yourself, that investment would count towards your asset test, and thus potentially reduce your pension, plus you would have to pay taxes on the yearly interest earned by the investment. You don’t incur any of those costs when you prepay for your own funeral.
