Time to reflect on what matters to you
Pre-planning offers space to reflect on how you’d like to be remembered, and add personal touches that loved ones may not know to include.
We partner with Guardian Plan, a trusted Australian prepaid funeral provider. With Guardian Plan, you can pay for specific funeral services at today’s prices.
Disclaimer: Guardian Plan is a prepaid funeral plan where your funds are invested in a funeral bond issued by Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited (the Society) ABN 81 087 649 063AFSL 524353. This product is a financial product and may not be suitable for everyone. Before making a decision, consider the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD) available on the Guardian Plan website and consider whether this option suits your needs. We encourage you to seek independent financial advice if needed.
A prepaid funeral allows you to plan and pay for selected funeral services in advance, at today’s prices. It also provides an opportunity to record your wishes, helping to reduce financial and emotional pressure on loved ones in the future.
Prepaying a funeral is a personal decision. Some people value the peace of mind that comes from documenting their wishes and planning ahead, while others appreciate the ability to prepay selected services. It’s also worth considering that circumstances can change over time. Funeral prices may not increase as expected, or family members may make different choices when the time comes. It’s important to consider your individual situation and seek independent advice.
The cost depends on what you choose to include in your plan. Some people prepay specific items, such as a coffin, while others choose to prepay a full funeral service. Costs vary based on personal preferences and inclusions.
You can choose to pay the full amount upfront, or make an initial contribution followed by monthly instalments over up to 36 months. Once the plan is paid in full, there are no additional fees for the services included in your prepaid plan.
