What is a prepaid funeral plan?+

A prepaid funeral plan lets you arrange and pay for your funeral in advance. You choose the services you want, pay at today's prices, and your wishes are recorded so your family knows exactly what you wanted.

Why should I prepay for my funeral?+

Prepaying protects your family from rising funeral costs and spares them from making difficult decisions while grieving. It also ensures your personal wishes are carried out exactly as you intended.

Where is my money held until it is needed?+

Payments are held in an independently managed funeral fund, separate from our business accounts. The funds are only released once the agreed services have been delivered.

What happens if prices rise after I purchase a plan?+

That is the main benefit of prepaying: the services included in your plan are guaranteed at the price you paid, no matter how much costs rise in the future.

Can I pay in instalments?+

Yes. You can pay in full up front or spread payments over an agreed period. Your plan documents will set out the payment schedule and what is covered while instalments are still being paid.

What happens if I move to another area?+

Contact us as soon as possible. In most cases we can transfer your plan to a funeral director in your new area. If an equivalent service isn't available, we will work with you to adjust the plan.

Can I change my plan after purchasing it?+

Yes. You can update your wishes and the details of your service at any time. If the changes affect the cost of the plan, we will explain any difference before anything is confirmed.

Can I cancel my plan?+

Yes, you can cancel your plan. Cancellation terms, including any applicable fees and cooling-off periods, are set out in our Refund Policy and your plan documents.

What should my family do when the time comes?+

They simply call us or the nominated funeral director, at any time of day or night. Because everything is already arranged and paid for, one phone call sets everything in motion.

Is a prepaid plan the same as funeral insurance?+

No. Funeral insurance requires ongoing premiums that can add up to more than the funeral itself, and payouts may vary. A prepaid plan is a one-time purchase of specific services at a fixed price.
