Prepaid Funerals

By: Funerals of Compassion

Comprehensive Financial Planning

When enjoying a healthy lifestyle, one area of financial planning often overlooked is Pre-planning a funeral. We plan ahead for every other financial possibility to protect our loved ones, such as life insurance, health insurance, plan for retirement and most of us have made a Will.

Better buying decisions

Pre-planning a funeral is as easy and practical as any other financial arrangement. It protects your loved ones financially but more importantly, it eases the emotional burden of having to make choices which may be influenced by those emotions, rather than their financial means. Therefore, better planning means better buying decisions.

Pre-planning provides you with the reassurance of knowing that your funeral needs are met as you would like them and within your budget without any feelings of guilt from your loved ones.

You may also be able to maximize your pension entitlement. Any money spent on a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan is not subject to the income and assets test or the deemed earnings rules (according to current legislation).

Saving with a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan

A pre-paid funeral plan is a detailed arrangement which details the funeral service of your choice and you pay for it at today’s prices. So you benefit from not only the financial saving in being protected against inflation but also the peace of mind in knowing that all the funeral arrangements will conducted in accordance with your wishes.

Some details that you will need to consider when pre-planning a funeral are;

• the type and style of funeral
• burial or cremation
• which cemetery or crematorium
• the type and style of coffin or casket
• press notices, which newspapers, mourning vehicles and flowers
• special features in the service, such as a DVD presentation
• the wishes of your family and friends
