PRE PLANNING FUNERALS
PREPAID FUNERALS:
As it has become more acceptable for people to talk openly about death, the number of people planning for and paying for their funerals ahead of time has increased. Your payment will be invested with a Friendly Society according to the Government Act (Vic 1996) Pre Paid Funeral Benefits: o Relieves your family of the financial burden of funeral expenses.
o Ensures your personal
wishes regarding your own funeral are documented and that these wishes are
respected.
o Protects your investment
against inflation (increase in funeral & cemetery costs).
o Interest accumulated is
tax-paid and does not affect any pension or superannuation you receive.
o Investments up to $5,000
are exempt from the asset test.
o Are simple to arrange
and relieve your family of much of the emotional burden at the time of
your death.
o Your investment remains
in your name with a substantial and successful company providing security
for your funds.
o In the comfort of your home or at any
listed funeral home mentioned on this site, you can discuss and select the
style of funeral you require.
Pre Arranging a Funeral: Pre Arranged Funerals are different to Pre Paid Funerals in that you do not pay for the Funeral until it is required. The Funeral and Cemetery costs will be as at that time. Few people can know the timing of their own death in advance. It is possible to make preparations to ease the burden that will fall on your next-of-kin. By contacting a funeral director on the services page and arranging for an appointment for completion of all the relevant paper work, you will ensure that your wishes are known by your funeral director and family when the time arises, relieving the stress of those who are left to organize the details.
