Although it may feel awful to consider, preplanning your funeral now makes sense in many ways. Not only does it ease a heap of stress for your family but it also gives you the freedom to plan out how you want things done.
With most prearranged funeral with a funeral bond, your family won’t have the responsibility of paying thousands for your service after you pass away. Instead, there are a lot of other benefits of a funeral bond that you might not have considered. These can include government payment assistance as it normally does not count in your assets test for centrelink payments, plus you can pay into to bond over a period of time— there’s no need to pay it all in one lump sum.
The utter peace of mind that comes with a prepaid funeral plan is undeniable. Don’t you want that freedom for your life?
