Pre-Arranged Funeral

A Pre-Arranged Funeral is one where the family and Funeral Director establish the funeral requisites and services which they may utilise in the future. Pre-arranging these details can provide peace of mind and remove the need for a loved one to arrange a funeral.Payment of the funeral is made when the service is conducted.
 
For your own peace of mind, select a Funeral Director who is an Accredited Member of the Australian Funeral Directors Association (AFDA), which requires its Members to honour a strict Code of Ethics and Practice.

Pre-Paid Funeral

A Pre-Paid Funeral is one where the family and Funeral Director establish the funeral requisites and services that they wish to contract and pay for now, for provision at a future date.
 
Funeral firms must invest the funds in a Friendly Society in strict accordance with the Funerals Act (1996) and the funds cannot be accessed until the funeral is provided. Furthermore, the funds are invested independently of the Funeral Director.

Five Costs to a Funeral

Generally, there are five cost components of a funeral. 

The ‘professional service’ fees from the Funeral Director, which include each of the tasks and services involved in arranging, planning and conducting a funeral. 

The ‘coffin or casket’ costs which can vary based on the construction and type, quality, finish and style that has been chosen. 

‘Cemetery and crematoria’ charges, which are set by individual cemeteries and crematoria, will not vary between funeral companies. 

Options to ‘celebrate a life’ may include: visual presentations, service booklets, thank you cards and memorial books. 

Other third-party disbursements payable may include newspaper notices, floral tributes, celebrant or clergy fees, music and catering.
