Pre-Planning

Why Plan Ahead

Nowadays people are eager to take a more active part in deciding how to be remembered. This is one way they can remove some uncertainty from their family members at this difficult time. We record your wishes which assist your family members and help them gain a sense of comfort from knowing what their loved ones wishes are. 
Pre-Planning Options

There are two types of pre-planning we can assist with. The first being pre-arranging your funeral and the second being setting money aside for your funeral.

Pre-arranging

Pre-arranging your funeral
Pre-arranging provides peace of mind for you and your family, knowing that you're not leaving your family with all the decisions. It enables you to leave an expression of your wishes to guide your family on how you would like to be remembered.  
How  does a pre-arrangement work?
Our staff are happy to meet with you, either at your family home or one of our offices, and guide you through a pre-arrangement at a time suitable to you. There is no cost for this service and you will be able to have any questions or concerns answered by one of our professional friendly staff. Alternatively, you can phone our office and request an information pack to be sent to your address or via email. You are able to complete the funeral wishes booklet and return this to our office to be put on file for the future.  

You can choose how much detail you record with us and we will hold on file a record of your wishes. If you wish to add or change your wishes in the future, this can be done at any time. We would recommend that you let family and caregivers know we are holding your instructions. 

Setting Money Aside

A Funeral Trust plan allows you to set money aside, in trust, for your final farewell or for that of a loved one.

Prepaying towards a funeral means when the time comes loved ones can gather together, support one another, and remember and celebrate a life, without the responsibility of making difficult choices in very emotional circumstances.
