Pre-Payment Options

We can co-ordinate a payment plan that suits your needs, from a single payment plan to monthly bank account withdrawals. By pre-paying your funeral, you eliminate your family second guessing on if they have spent too much or too little on your funeral.
Pre-payment also protects you and your family from inflation, and the growth is non-taxable. Depending on your region, if your funeral costs less than the amount you have put aside, those funds will be refunded to your beneficiaries. For more information on what is applicable in your region, simply speak to your funeral director.
