Today's wisdom is tomorrow's peace of mind.

Pre-arranging a funeral is one area of retirement planning most people don't think about, particularly when they are healthy and enjoying life.

But we plan ahead for just about every other financial possibility to ensure our loved ones and ourselves are protected.

We take out life insurance and health insurance, we put money aside for retirement and most of us have made a Will.

A pre-arranged funeral can protect your loved ones emotionally as well as financially, and provide you with peace of mind knowing your affairs are in order.

 

Getting your affairs in order with a pre-planned funeral.
When you pre-arrange a funeral, you choose the type and style of funeral service you want.

Some of the details you will need to consider when pre-arranging a funeral include:

  • Whether you prefer burial or cremation
  • Your preferred cemetery or crematorium
  • Any special features you would like to include in the service, such as a poem, special piece of music or a DVD slideshow
  • The type and style of coffin or casket you prefer
  • Inclusion of clubs and associations
  • If you would prefer donations to charity rather than flowers
  • Death Registration, certain information is needed to register a death. Having this information recorded in advance ensures an accurate and complete registration.
Once you have decided on the main features of the funeral service, our funeral director will complete a written record of the details you have requested to ensure your funeral will be conducted exactly in accordance with your wishes.

Please visit our "arrange online" page for the information required when pre-arranging a funeral. You may wish to complete the online form in your own time and submit it straight to Christian Funerals. We will then contact you and make a time to visit and finalise any details.

What is a Prepaid Funeral?
Prepaying your funeral is an extension of pre-arranging your funeral, where you fix the price by simply paying for your funeral in advance. Christian Funerals will provide you with a Prepaid Funeral Contract as a guarantee.


Making payments is easy.
There are two payment options available:

Prepaid Funeral Plan with payment in full at time of completion of contract. (Price is fixed at time of payment)

Prepaid Funeral Installment Plan with an initial deposit and monthly payments over 3 years.

How can your funeral director help?
Our funeral directors can guide you through each step of planning a funeral and explain the products and services we offer.

You can make an appointment to meet a funeral director at our office or you may wish to discuss the details in the comfort of your own home.
