Why plan ahead with a prepaid funeral?

Today, more and more Australians are taking proactive steps to plan their final farewell.

It may feel confronting at first, but considering your wishes and making a plan ahead of time can be very empowering. It also brings numerous financial, logistical and emotional benefits.

Lock in your price ahead of time

A prepaid funeral package is a cost-effective way to plan ahead. Unlike funeral insurance and funeral bonds, a prepaid funeral package lets you lock in the service you want at today’s prices, protecting your investment from inflation.

Taking care of the payment ahead of time takes the stress off your family, and allows for a smoother farewell.

Your funeral, your way

From the location of the service to the music that's played, you’ll get to plan your farewell exactly how you want it.

And if you don’t want to plan every detail, simply purchasing a prepaid funeral package and sharing a few of your wishes in advance can help your family navigate the process after you're gone.

Feel empowered until the end

Playing a proactive role in planning our end-of-life celebrations can help us come to terms with the fact that we won’t be around forever.

By choosing how you’ll be remembered, you can reclaim some control and feel empowered by your decisions.

Guardian Plan prepaid funeral packages

We partner with Guardian Plan, a member of the InvoCare network, to help members of our community pre-plan a funeral they’d be proud of.

Here’s what you can expect from a Guardian Plan prepaid funeral package.

Locked-in price

Guardian Plan’s prepaid funeral packages not only provide peace of mind, but they can save you money with a lock-in price that won't change with inflation.

The price depends on what you choose for your funeral. Most people spend around $6,000 - $15,000.

Flexible payment options

While your initial cost will depend on your inclusions, there are no additional fees once you've paid in full.

You can pay in full or pay an initial 30% contribution, followed by monthly instalments over 36 months.

Simple paperwork

You can expect a straightforward and quick application process, with no extensive paperwork or health checks required.

And when it’s time to carry out your funeral, we’ll have everything we need to guide your family through the process.

Tailored to you

A prepaid funeral means your loved ones won’t have to worry about making the right decision.

It’s a simple way for them to say goodbye in a way that reflects you, your life and your budget.

No impact to pension entitlements

The Australian Government uses asset tests to determine pension entitlements for a retiree.

As Guardian Plan prepaid funerals are exempt from these tests, it’s a simple way for seniors to maintain their current age pension benefits.

Safe and secure

All payments are held securely by The Over Fifty's Guardian Friendly Society, under APRA regulation.
