READ NOWA prepaid funeral also allows you to plan the service you want ensuring it reflects the life that has been lived, and the money is held safely in a trust.
Regardless of its value, a prepaid funeral is also exempt from asset testing and thus is a great way to reduce your assessable worth, potentially safeguarding the pension seniors receive at the end of the day.
Prepaying your funeral can offer significant savings compared with funeral insurance.
Premiums for funeral insurance can start small, but often rise as you age and you need to continue paying premiums to remain covered.
With a prepaid funeral, you pay once at current costs offering better value for money.
Families are encouraged to take the time to find the best suited funeral packages for them.
