PRE-PAID & PRE-ARRANGED FUNERALS

Pre-paid and Pre-arranged Funerals are a thoughtful way of preparing for the future and protecting your loved ones from the financial and emotional stress that funeral arrangements can have.

Mark J Floyd Funeral Services specialise in Fixed Price Pre-Paid Funeral Plans, Funeral Bonds and Pre-Arranged Funerals having provided this service to our clients since the 1980's.

The process of pre-planning your funeral arrangements is easy. We simply sit down and record all of the information, preferences and requests that you have in mind for your funeral service. These can be changed or updated at any time and there is no obligation.

Once these plans have been made it is possible to go further and set aside funds to pay for (or contribute to) your funeral costs. Setting aside funds for your funeral can be done in many ways. Often we assist our clients with setting up Funeral Bonds, which fall outside the Centrelink assets test, and are capital guaranteed.

We recommend our clients seek professional financial advice from a licensed financial adviser before committing any funds to a pre-paid or pre-arranged funeral plan.

We collect the relevant personal information (all of which is contained within our 'Personal Profile Record'), your desired funeral arrangements and any special personal touches, explained here.

Funeral Insurance

We are often contacted about Funeral Insurance and the multitude of insurance options.  Advertising for Funeral Insurance features very prominently in all media and portrays funerals as prohibitively and extortionately expensive.  This is in contrast to their assertion that insurance is a thoughtful and cost effective alternative.

An excellent analysis of the claims made by the Funeral Insurance industry was undertaken by the Combined Pensioners & Superannuants Association of New South Wales Inc  and examines closely the realities of funeral insurance and can be found here: Funeral Insurance Analysis.

It covers questions such as, "Is your Funeral Insurance right for you?" "Are you getting value for money?" 

We recommend that anyone considering Funeral Insurance, Pre-Paid Funeral Plan or a Funeral Bond to get detailed, personal advice from their financial advisor.
