ABOUT

Pre-paid Funerals

A pre-paid funeral is a safe and structured way to plan and pay for your farewell in advance, avoiding leaving your family with any difficult financial burden on top of the emotional toll.

When you enter a prepaid plan, your funds are held independently under strict and regulated conditions until your wishes have been delivered, or transferred if you decide to use another funeral director.

The benefits of pre-paid

A number of benefits come with a pre-paid funeral plan, including:

Group 320

YOUR FUNERAL YOUR WAY
A pre-paid plan enables you to establish the type of funeral you want – burial or cremation, the nature of the ceremony you want if any, and the music of your choice.

Group 321

A LAYER OF STRESS REMOVED
A pre-paid plan helps remove some of the stress that your loved ones will experience, as it removes any financial burden at an already difficult time.

Group 322

A FINANCIAL BONUS
The money invested on a pre-paid funeral is not subject to asset testing, hence does not reduce the pension you are entitled to or affect deeming.

Group 323

PAY IN TODAY’S PRICES
By pre-paying for your funeral, you avoid any future price rises resulting from inflation, as prices are locked in at today’s levels.

Group 324

SECURITY ASSURED
Pre-paid funerals offer peace of mind investment, with all funds paid held by an independent party that operates under strict regulations. These funds are only accessible to us after we have delivered your wishes.
