Transparent Pricing for Adelaide Families
Planning Ahead for Peace of Mind
Protecting your family from future costs and difficult decisions.
Prepaid Funerals: A Sensible Choice
Pre-Paid vs. Pre-Arranged:
What’s the difference?
Pre-Arranged:
Focuses on the “how.” You record your specific wishes, music choices, and service type so your family doesn’t have to guess. No payment is required upfront.
Pre-Paid:
Focuses on the “how” and the “cost.” You select your service and pay for it at today’s prices, protecting your family from future price increases.
Flexibility: Both options allow you to change your mind or update your instructions at any time.
Financial Security & The Lifeplan Fund
Independently Held:
Your funds are not held by us; they are invested with Australian Unity (Lifeplan), a regulated friendly society.
Inflation Proof:
Once paid, the cost of our funeral director services is locked in forever, regardless of how much prices rise in the future.
Asset Test Exempt:
Pre-paid funerals (up to certain limits) are generally excluded from the Centrelink/DVA asset test, which may assist with pension eligibility.
Personalizing Your Farewell
Service Style:
Choose between a traditional Chapel service, a graveside burial, or a private “Direct Cremation.”
The Details:
Nominate your preferred music, readings (like High Flight), and floral tributes.
Casket Selection:
Choose from our range, including the “Sensible Casket” featured in our standard packages.
Location:
Specify if you would like the service at our Ridleyton Chapel or another meaningful venue.
