PRE-PLANNED FUNERALS

In our quest to help people have the most awesome send-offs possible, we have a really labour-intensive model that requires many hours of personalised work.

We realised that pre-paid funerals don’t really work with our model for a host of reasons (a large one is the ungodly amount of admin and paperwork), so we are no longer offering pre-paid funerals. We will of course honour all pre-paid services already arranged with us.

If you want to independently put funds away, you can still contact Foresters Financial or KeyInvest, and get your own bond sorted (and list us as your preferred provider).

If you know you want to have a Last Hurrah with us and want to get sorted, we can definitely sit down with you and plan every detail. The fee for that is $250 and that is deducted off the cost of your funeral.

We like Foresters Financial because their system is simple, has low fees, and they process applications quickly. You may also like to choose Bendigo Bank/Australian Friendly Society.

You can click the image below to find out more, and of course, drop us a line if you’d like to have a chat about pre-paying or pre-arranging your funeral. There is zero obligation, and strangely enough, you might find it a very life-affirming conversation! It might feel weird, but we are here to make it as non-awkward and natural as possible.

PREARRANGED FUNERALS

When you pre-arrange your funeral, you get together with us for a cup of Joe, or a beer, and have a meeting about what you want to happen after you die. We take a bunch of notes and prepare a record of that to add to your files, while we keep a copy as well.

It’s a good idea to tell someone (your executor if you are that organised?!) you’ve done this and give them a copy too. If you have a big family, it’s a good idea to let a bunch of them know, so there is no confusion after your death.
