Funeral Pre-Payment

Home / Funeral Pre-Payment /


With pre-payment of funerals commencing at $1270 & most under $3000, pre-payment is most often more economic than Funeral Insurance. You can pay it in a lump sum or pay it off at whatever rate & frequency you can afford.

  • Your money is always safe, it must be held by a Trustee under Queensland Law to preserve the safety of the funds.  This is the simplest of plans on the market, the trustees are reputable, the money you've paid is always yours until needed for the funeral, can be transferred to another on or state, to another funeral director.

  • You can make full payment of the total in a lump sum. This guarantees the price of a full service funeral service will remain the same it is when you pay.
  • Or you can pay off the total by periodic payments direct from your bank at your own pace. Once you have paid for the funeral at the price that applies on the day of the last payment, a full service funeral is guaranteed not to rise.

An important decision for your family


  • Some parts of the funeral we can’t guarantee because of wide variations in cost over the years and because an outside supplier provides the item or service, Cremation/ cemetery fees: most crematoriums will allow you to pay for the cremation at today’s rate thus locking the price at today’s rate. Some Cemeteries do too.

Minor costs such as minister, notices, flowers, after hours charges, though you can, if you wish, contribute an amount towards those charges. 

Please note that a “no service, no attendance funeral” does not have a guaranteed fixed price. This is because the cremation fees may rise  over the coming years and that the crematorium won’t allow these charges to be paid in advance.

  • You have a 30 day cooling down period in which you can claim a refund of your full payment . By law, your monies must be held by a Trustee. We recommend “Sureplan Gold” as they pay a good rate of interest and have been safely holding client’s money for many years, since they were the PMG Friendly Society. You need to be aware that we are paid a commission from Sureplan and we are agents for them.
