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.

Our Fixed Price Pre-Paid Funeral Plans protect you from future price rises by locking arrangements in at today's prices and all Funeral Bonds (invested with Australian Friendly Society) are Government guaranteed to provide protection in an uncertain economic climate.

The process of organising a Pre-Paid Funeral is simple.

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.

Of the total Pre-Paid cost, items that can be pre-purchased (ie Cemetery Plots & Cremation Deeds) will be purchased in your name, the GST portion paid to the government and the remaining amount invested in a Funeral Bond which is solely the property of the bond holder and not the Funeral Director.

For further information please see our fact sheet: Pre-Paid, Pre-Arranged and Funeral Bond Fact Sheet.

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.
