Planning Ahead

We all plan for the future, for the expected and the unexpected. We take out home and contents insurance, car insurance, health and life insurance. Superannuation for our retirement is recognised as essential. We know that such planning simplifies life for ourselves and for those for whom we care, but have you ever thought about what will happen after you die? We all know how important it is to make a will to ensure our possessions are given to those we love. Although death can sometimes be seen as a painful topic to discuss, more and more people are coming to accept it as a part of life, and are planning and paying for their funerals in advance.

By making this decision, they are relieving their families of the responsibility of making funeral arrangements at a time when their grief will be burden enough. With many decisions involved in planning a funeral on your behalf, it can be both confusing and traumatic for the bereaved.

Planning ahead for your funeral can give peace of mind to you and your family.

Invest In Their Peace Of Mind

Our funeral plan affords you the opportunity to pre-pay funeral expenses in one lump sum; or if more convenient, by instalments. The money that you pay for your pre-paid funeral plan is invested by an independent entity until such time as the funeral services are required. Only then will the Funeral Director be paid.

Pre-paying may also assist you to increase your pension entitlement and may reduce the amount of tax you have to pay.

Turnbulls will provide you with further information concerning the investment of the monies paid under a pre-paid funeral plan.
