Pre-Paid Funerals

Why Plan Ahead?

Preplanning your funeral makes sense. It takes the emotional stress off your family, locks in your funeral cost at today’s price, and allows you to plan things your way. Then you can relax, knowing your money is held safely in a trust while you get on with enjoying life to the full.

​

1. Pay today's price, beat rising costs.
With a prepaid funeral plan you pay today's price and avoid things like inflation and rising premiums. Pay in instalments or upfront, whatever works for you. A prepaid funeral is also exempt from the Centrelink assets test so it can help you qualify for a pension or part pension.

​

2. No ongoing payments.*
With a prepaid funeral you only pay for the funeral you want. No additional costs and no premiums to pay for you or your family. The cost of a prepaid funeral will vary depending on the inclusions. Once paid in full there is no more to pay unless additional inclusions are incurred.

​

3. Remove the worry, give peace of mind.
When the time comes it's planned and paid for, family and friends won't have to deal with arrangement details or financial concerns, as everything is taken care of.

​

4. No extensive paperwork or health checks.
We'll walk you through the simple and quick process of preplanning your funeral.

​

5. Tailor your plan to meet your needs.
Prepaying your funeral service means you get your funeral service, your way.

​

• There are two ways to make payments for a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan. You can pay for the Pre-Paid Funeral Plan in a lump sum or pay by instalments; this is usually arranged through a direct debit payment system.  

• If you choose the instalment option and something should happen before the full amount is paid off, the family will be expected to pay the remaining money

• Please note that the money paid for the Pre-Paid Funeral Plan is held secure by an independent entity such as a friendly society or trustee company and is properly invested and safeguarded until such time as the funeral services under the Pre-Paid Funeral Plan are required. Only then will the funds be released to Eternity Funeral Care. 

• Unlike Funeral Insurance, with a Pre Paid Funeral Bond, the price of the Service is fixed at today's prices, free from any future inflationary pressures.

• Please note that any additional Services (not included in the original Bond) required on the day of the Service, will be charged at the prices current at the time.
