Why pre-paying your funeral care makes sense

Prepaid Funerals - a Popular Choice

It makes a lot of sense to pre-arrange and pre-pay for your funeral care.

Prepaid funerals (including direct, 'no service' cremations) involve planning and establishing funeral expenses ahead of time, ensuring that all necessary preparations are handled prior to one's passing. Doing this has become increasingly popular.

At Evermore Funerals, we offer straightforward and transparent prepaid funeral plans. As a locally owned business with deep community values, we are committed to assisting people in arranging the services they require.

So what are the benefits of prepaying a funeral or direct cremation?

1. Pay now, and save

While funeral costs continue to increase, prepaying for your funeral arrangements means you can lock in those costs at today's prices.

2. Flexible Options for Payment

When prepaying, you can choose to either pay the full amount in one lump sum, or in manageable instalments.

3. Peace of Mind

A prepaid funeral can reduce the amount of complex decisions that a family needs to make during their time of grief. Prepaying also protects families from unexpected expenses when the time of the funeral or cremation comes. Being prepaid and prepared reduces the stress on your family, and gives you peace of mind knowing that everything has already been organised for them.

4. Government Benefit Considerations

Importantly, government assessments do not factor your prepaid funeral plan in your assets test. This exemption may assist applicants who are seeking government incentives and benefits. Currently (in the 2025-2026 year), the prepaid funeral bond exemption is $15,750.
