Planning Ahead

Creating funeral arrangements ahead of time provides peace of mind knowing your wishes will be taken care of, allowing you to continue living your best life.

​

Chances are if you are considering funeral pre-arrangement you are looking for one of two things:

• The design a very specific funeral service, truly personalised to suit your wishes, or

• The financial security of a funeral plan.

​

Whatever your motives, we are here to offer expert advice and help you plan for your future.

​

FOR EXAMPLE:

Graveside Burial with standard inclusions*

A Graveside Burial package in 2010 would have cost around $8,107. At today’s pricing the same service would be around $8,358. And looking toward 2030 would cost approximately $11,233.

With the average life expectancy in Australia being around 82 years, that is considerable time for pricing to gain momentum and in turn cost you significantly in the future.

​

Looking at these figures Pre-paid funeral arrangements are a valuable investment and make good financial sense.

​

Securing arrangements at today’s prices create peace of mind and ease the burden for your family at a time when finances should be the last thing they have to worry about.
