Pre-Planning your Funeral
Plan ahead with compassionate guidance, easing future burdens for you and your loved ones.
Often the stresses of arranging a funeral for someone close to you can be too great, and pre-planning and pre-paying is becoming more and more common.
We can assist you in this process to further ease the strain on your family after you pass on. We can discuss the type of funeral you would like, whether you'd like to buried or cremated and what the costs associated might be.

Pre-Planning your funeral allows you to make things the way you want them. We can cater your funeral to be your own celebration of your life in the way you want it.
Planning means that the big choices are already made, this saves your loved ones from needing to make decisions during the difficult time allowing you family to focus on emotional processing.
Funerals can be expensive. Planning allows to lay out the budget and compare options to prevent an unforeseen financial burden on you family in their time of grief. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions about pre-planning or pre-paying for your funeral.
If you are considering going into residential care, pre-paid funerals up to $10,000 are currently excluded from asset testing by the government for the residential-care-subsidy.

Call us or pop into the office to find out what your options are and which plan would be best for you.
Another important thing to consider is what will be recorded on your death certificate. Do your loved ones know your mother's maiden name and what her father did for a living? A death certificate is a historical document and helps families trace their history. To make sure your family history will be accurately recorded we have all the required information available here. If pre-planning you can give all the information to the funeral director yourself. Otherwise make sure a loved one has access to it after you have passed on.
