Pre-paid Funerals
Arranging a pre-paid funeral with Blue Mountains Funerals is both an act of wisdom and an act of love. During our lives we plan for many situations; education, weddings, having a family or retirement.
However, many people neglect to plan for the most significant of all rites of passage - their funeral.
By pre-paying your funeral you provide yourself with peace of mind and relieve your relatives and friends of an enormous emotional and financial burden during their time of bereavement.
When you pre-pay your funeral with Blue Mountains Funerals, you purchase your funeral service at today’s prices.
This protects your family from any future price increases that may occur in relation to the funeral arrangements you have selected.
You also have the opportunity to determine exactly how you would like your funeral to take place.
These requirements are documented in a Funeral Contract that list all the pre-arranged services agreed upon. All your specific requests, from selected music or hymns, to your choice of flowers or life symbols, are securely held on file at Blue Mountains Funerals until the time of need.
Your pre-paid funeral payment can be made up-front or in installments over a three year period. This will be safeguarded for you in a completely secure and independent trust managed by Funeral Plan Management. Click here to go to the Lifeplan Australia Friendly Society website for more information.
This money becomes available only upon your death and only to meet your funeral expenses.
