Prepaid Funerals: A Sensible Choice
Pre-Paid vs. Pre-Arranged:
What’s the difference?
Pre-Arranged:
Focuses on the “how.” You record your specific wishes, music choices, and service type so your family doesn’t have to guess. No payment is required upfront.
Pre-Paid:
Focuses on the “how” and the “cost.” You select your service and pay for it at today’s prices, protecting your family from future price increases.
Flexibility:
Both options allow you to change your mind or update your instructions at any time.
Financial Security & The Lifeplan Fund
Independently Held:
-
Your funds are not held by us; they are invested with Australian Unity (Lifeplan), a regulated friendly society.
- Inflation Proof:
- Once paid, the cost of our funeral director services is locked in forever, regardless of how much prices rise in the future.
- Asset Test Exempt:
Pre-paid funerals (up to certain limits) are generally excluded from the Centrelink/DVA asset test, which may assist with pension eligibility.
