What is a prepaid funeral service?

A prepaid funeral service is when you arrange and pay for a funeral service in advance. Doing this relieves those left behind of the financial and emotional uncertainty of having to do it all by themselves during a time of distress.

Prepaying your funeral gives you the time to clearly and calmly plan a service that reflects your personality. You can add in any special requests you might have so that the funeral service meets all your cultural, emotional, spiritual and personal needs. We will be there every step of the way to answer all of your questions and to assist you with advice.

You will help your family by telling us your choice of funeral service, what venue you would like, your choice of music or hymns and any other special requests. You also have the opportunity to personalise your own funeral service by choosing the selection of music or hymns, and your choice of flowers or life symbols.

A prepaid funeral can also be made for any of your dependents.
