Funeral Plans in Australia | Prepaid & Prearranged Options with eziFunerals
Thinking ahead about your funeral may feel uncomfortable — but for many Australians, it’s one of the most thoughtful and financially responsible decisions you can make.
At eziFunerals, we help individuals and families explore funeral plans that align with their values, budget, and wishes. Whether you want to prepay, prearrange, or simply understand your options, our platform gives you the tools to plan with confidence and peace of mind.
What Is a Funeral Plan?
A funeral plan allows you to organise your funeral arrangements in advance. This can include:
• The type of service (burial, cremation, direct cremation)
• Your preferred funeral director
• Specific wishes (music, readings, flowers, etc.)
• Payment for the service ahead of time (prepaid plans)
Funeral plans are flexible and can be tailored to suit your personal, cultural, or religious preferences.
Benefits of Having a Funeral Plan
1. Reduce Stress for Loved Ones
Your family won’t have to make rushed decisions or worry about organising the funeral during a time of grief.
2. Lock in Today’s Prices
Prepaid plans protect you from rising funeral costs due to inflation.
3. Financial Certainty
Avoid leaving your family with unexpected expenses.
4. Ensure Your Wishes Are Respected
From cremation or burial to specific songs or readings — your funeral will reflect your personal choices.
5. Flexible Payment Options
Most plans offer lump-sum or instalment payments to suit your budget.
Types of Funeral Plans in Australia
1. Prepaid Funeral Plans
• You pay for the funeral in advance (in full or over time)
• Covers essential services agreed upon in the contract
• Funds are held in a regulated funeral fund or bond
• Legally protected and transferrable
2. Prearranged Funeral Plans
• No upfront payment required
• You document your funeral preferences
• Funeral costs are paid at time of death
• A good option if you’re not ready to prepay, but want your wishes recorded
3. Funeral Insurance (Not Recommended)
• Ongoing premiums can exceed the funeral value over time
• Coverage ends if premiums are not maintained
• Considered expensive and risky by most financial experts
eziFunerals recommends prepaid or prearranged plans over funeral insurance for better value and protection.
