A pre-paid funeral plan allows you to make decisions about your funeral in advance and pay for it at today’s prices. This means you can lock in the cost of your funeral, ensuring your loved ones won’t have to pay more in the future.

Most major items associated with your funeral can be fixed in a pre-paid plan, such as Professional Services Fee, Transfer and Mortuary Services, Coffin or Casket Selection, Celebrant Fees, Cremation or Burial Fees. However, some disbursement items like flowers, press notices, and catering may be billed at the time of the funeral.

A Funeral Bond is where you set aside a nominated amount of money to cover future funeral costs. This can be paid in a lump sum or by instalments. The funds are securely managed by an approved funeral funds manager, ensuring that the money is safeguarded until needed.

A Pre-Paid Funeral Plan involves making financial arrangements in advance for your funeral expenses. Prearranging a funeral, on the other hand, is the process of recording your funeral wishes with your funeral director, with no financial payment made at that time. The costs are typically covered by your estate or family when the time comes.

Discussing your Pre-Paid Funeral Plan with Heritage Brothers is obligation-free and can be done at their office or your home. We offer a range of payment options and can help you decide on a plan that suits your needs and budget.

A funeral funds manager is a recognised entity responsible for securely holding and managing the funds associated with your pre-paid funeral plan or funeral bond. This ensures that your invested funds are protected until they are needed to cover your funeral expenses.
