PREPAID funerals are becoming increasingly popular, as people become more aware of the emotional and financial benefits associated with planning ahead.<\/p>\n
But there are a lot of questions about prepaid funerals, and how they work.<\/p>\n
Kings Funerals Prepaid Consultants, Julie Cantwell and Samantha Voyle-Hallihan are here to help answer some of your most common questions.
\nHow do I prepay a funeral?<\/p>\n
There are two ways to prepay a funeral.<\/p>\n
The first is with a funeral bond where the cost of your funeral is estimated and a lump sum is invested with a funeral fund manager to go towards future costs.<\/p>\n
With this option you can set a target amount and pay in regular or occasional contributions, when and how it suits you.<\/p>\n
The second option is a prepaid funeral plan.<\/p>\n
This is where you decide the details of the funeral service that you want and Kings Funerals guarantees with a written contract to carry out the funeral as arranged, whenever it’s required in years to come.<\/p>\n
This option does have to be paid in full, and includes a price guarantee fee to lock in today’s prices with the money once again securely invested with a fund manager.<\/p>\n
Is my money safe?<\/p>\n
Yes. In Victoria, prepaid legislation requires that all funds must be invested with a friendly society. After the initial investment, Kings Funerals cannot access the funds until the funeral has taken place.<\/p>\n
What if I move?<\/p>\n
If you relocate to another area and want the funeral to be held in your new location, then the investment can be re-assigned to a more local Funeral Director in your new area.<\/p>\n
How do I benefit from planning ahead?<\/p>\n
The services you pay for today will not attract extra costs when the funeral is needed.<\/p>\n
You’re able to fix the cost of a funeral forever and provide comfort and reassurance for your family.<\/p>\n
The investment can help preserve your pension entitlements, adding to the financial benefits of planning ahead.<\/p>\n
Lastly, you record exactly how to be remembered at the service in your own unique way.<\/p>\n
