Pre-prepared Funerals
“Go Your Own Way” With the Funeral that is Right For You
Take away pain, stress and overwhelm for your family and friends and ensure you can go your own way by pre-planning the farewell that’s right for you!
Funerals By Design owner and founder, Karin Slade, is so passionate about helping people to “go their own way” she has written a book on the subject, Where There’s a Will, There’s a Wake, as well as creating the Frog Files, a guided workbook to help you get your affairs in order before you croak!
If you’d like to also plan and pay for your funeral in advance, at Funerals By Design we also offer pre-prepared funeral plans through our funeral plan, Funeral Plan Management. You can choose from either a Pre-paid Funeral Plan, where you pay for the funeral in advance, or a Pre-paid Funeral Bond, where you set money aside toward the expense.
Six reasons to choose a pre-paid funeral plan or pre-paid funeral bond
- Save money – by paying for your funeral service in advance and at today’s prices, it protects you and your family from inflation and financial stress.
- Ensure your wishes are followed – because you have already decided on the funeral service and funeral director you want to have, your wishes will be followed and made clear to your family.
- Avoid family conflict – if death is a tricky subject or there are family tensions, a pre-prepared funeral plan allows you to outline your wishes while avoiding having uncomfortable and emotional conversations with your family about funeral planning.
- Protect your investment – when your funds are invested it is done so independently of a funeral director, ensuring your investment will always be safe, even if your chosen funeral home ceases to exist.
- No ongoing fees – whether you choose to pay for your funeral upfront or in instalments, once the account has been paid there are no ongoing fees.
- Help qualify for aged pension – the money invested in your funeral expenses is exempt from the Centrelink Assets Test, which may help you to qualify for Aged Pension or a Part Pension.
