Pre-Paid Funeral Enquiry

What is a Pre-Paid funeral?

A pre-arranged funeral is where you may discuss with a funeral director your preference for a type and style of funeral and the funeral director may record your preferences for future reference, but no formal agreement is entered into for that specific funeral.

It will be the responsibility of your family or executor to arrange the funeral and to pay for it at the time of the funeral.

FAQs
How much choice does the family have in funeral arrangements?
The family has absolute choice with certain exceptions as in the case of Coronial Investigation in some murder cases where permission may be given for a funeral by burial only.
Would most people choose burial or cremation?
Australia today the numbers of people choosing to be cremated are steadily increasing. Whilst there is some variance between states and territories, cremations now outnumber burials. People have a choice of either burial or cremation. In certain cultures, cremation is not favoured (or may be prohibited within the relevant faith belief). In other cultures, the opposite may occur with cremation being the custom e.g. as in the Hindu tradition.
How much will a funeral cost?
The obvious and understandable question, like building a house - the answer could be almost limitless. There are certain necessary inclusions and certifications required, some of which have fixed costs, some of which are negotiable. A specific answer cannot be given to this question because of the scope of options available. The costs of a funeral are categorised under: professional service fees; disbursements, i.e. funeral company out of pocket expenses and coffin or casket choice.
Can I pay a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan by instalments?
There are two ways to make payments for a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan. You can pay for your Pre-Paid Funeral Plan in a lump sum or your funeral director may give you the option to pay by instalments. This is usually arranged through a direct debit or booklet payment system.
What does a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan include?
Some options to consider include: The type and style of funeral service you would like, preparation of the body and viewing arrangements, burial or cremation, which cemetery or crematorium, type of coffin or casket, minister or celebrant, memorial book and memorial cards, death notices, flowers, mourning vehicles and special features you would like to include such as a poem or piece of music.
How long does grief last?
Grief responses are very individual. Each person will react in their own unique way. There are certain chemicals released by the grieving person, sometimes for months after the death, which are normal. These chemicals change the way we think and feel. Often a birthday, Christmas and the 1st anniversary of the death are especially difficult times. It can take 2-5 years to re-adjust after a death of a loved one.
