PrePaid funeral Plan Details

What is a Prepaid Funeral?
A Prepaid Funeral Plan means you can fix the cost of a funeral with your Funeral Director, by obtaining a pre-paid contract which documents your wishes in detail. Another option is a Funeral Bond investment which will help your peace of mind knowing you have money set aside to meet the costs of future funeral expenses.
: Where does the money go?
Under Victorian Legislation, money prepaid for a funeral must be invested in prescribed funds. Information on one of the main funds we use is listed in the Lifeplan disclosure document: Click here to view the disclosure document for Funeral Plans; Click here to view the disclosure document for Funeral Bonds
: How much does a pre-paid funeral cost?
The cost of a funeral is made up primarily of the Funeral Director fees (including the coffin/casket) and payments made to third parties. We have set up a worksheet to help you work out these costs: Click here to open the Cost Calculations Worksheet; Click here to view the Gippsland Funeral Services Professional Service Fee Options; Click here to view the Gippsland Funeral Services Coffin Upgrade Choices; Click here to view the Common Third Party Payments and other costings and options
: Can I pay off my funeral ?
Yes. A fixed price funeral plan will need to be paid off within a certain period of time (to ensure the invested funds keep up with inflation), but we have several options available to ensure the payments are affordable to you. Many of our clients are paying off their funerals at as little as $25 per fortnight.: Where do I start ?
Simply contact your nearest Gippsland Funeral Services office for obligation free assistance.
