Planning ahead: The benefits of funeral bonds

Planning ahead: The benefits of funeral bonds

Bringing up funerals in conversation can be hard, but it can also bring peace of mind, ensuring your loved ones know your wishes and won’t have to make tough decisions during an emotional time.

At Heritage Brothers Funeral Services, we offer funeral bonds – let’s chat about this more.

What is a funeral bond?

A funeral bond is a straightforward way to put aside money for your future funeral costs. Rather than paying for a specific service upfront, a funeral bond allows you to invest funds that will be used by your family when they make arrangements in the future.

Funeral Bonds:

  • You can invest any amount from $500 up to $14,000.
  • Payments can be made in a lump sum or instalments.
  • Funds are securely managed by an approved funeral funds provider, such as Foresters Financial.
  • Your family will have access to these funds when the time comes to arrange your funeral.

Pre-arranging vs funeral bonds: What’s the difference?

Some people choose to pre-arrange their funeral without making any financial commitment. 

This involves communicating your funeral wishes to our Gold Coast funeral director so your loved ones have clear guidance when the time comes. However, the actual costs will still need to be covered by your estate or family at the time of the funeral.

A funeral bond, on the other hand, requires a financial commitment in advance.

Flexible payment options for funerals

At our funeral homes on the Gold Coast and in Tweed Heads and Chinderah, we understand that everyone’s financial situation is different. That’s why we offer flexible payment options with our funeral bonds. 

Plan today for peace of mind tomorrow

Taking the time to plan your funeral in advance is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for your family. It alleviates stress, ensures your wishes are followed, and provides financial certainty.
