Planning a funeral might not seem like ordering a pizza, but bear with us there are some surprising similarities! When you’re hungry, you don’t just sit around hoping food will magically appear. You take control, pick what you want, and make sure it’s delivered just how you like it.

Funeral planning works the same way. If you don’t plan ahead, you might end up with something you don’t want (and overpay for it!). That’s where eziFunerals comes into help you make funeral planning as easy as ordering your favorite pizza.

1. Do You Want a Simple Cheese Pizza or the Works? (Customizing Your Funeral Preferences)

When you order a pizza, you have choices:

  • Do you want a simple, no-fuss cheese pizza? (A basic, direct cremation.)
  • Or do you prefer all the toppings, extra cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives? (A full-service funeral with a wake, flowers, and a memorial.)
  • Maybe you want something in between not too plain, but not too fancy. (A personalised funeral that reflects your life.)

With eziFunerals, you can find a trusted funeral director to customise your farewell just like your favorite pizza. You choose what’s important, remove what’s unnecessary, and get a funeral that fits your taste and budget.

Would you let a stranger choose your pizza toppings? No? Then don’t let others make your funeral decisions for you!

2. Ordering Ahead vs. Last-Minute Panic (Pre-Planning vs. Emergency Funerals)

Have you ever waited until the last minute to order food, only to realise:

  • Your favorite pizza place is closed?
  • The delivery time is longer than expected?
  • You’re too rushed to compare prices, so you just pick whatever is available (and regret it later)?

This is exactly what happens when families don’t plan funerals in advance.

  • They’re rushed and forced to choose whatever is available.
  • They end up paying way more than they expected.
  • They don’t have time to think through what they really want.

Just like pre-ordering your pizza ensures a smooth experience, pre-planning your funeral with an eziFunerals funeral partner ensures:

  • Your final wishes are clear.
  • Your loved ones aren’t stressed or overcharged.
  • Everything is ready when it’s needed.

Pre-order your funeral like you pre-order your pizza – no stress, no surprises!

3. Comparing Prices: Getting the Best Deal

Would you ever pay $50 for a basic cheese pizza just because it was the first place you found? No way! You’d check prices, read reviews, and make sure you’re getting value for your money.

Funeral costs can vary just as much as pizza prices. Without comparison:

With eziFunerals, you can:

Why overpay for your final send-off when you can get a better deal by comparing options?

4. Delivery Matters: Getting Exactly What You Ordered

Ever order a pizza, only to open the box and realise:

  • They gave you the wrong toppings?
  • The order wasn’t what you expected?
  • It took way too long to arrive?

The same thing happens with funerals when people don’t plan ahead. Families assume they’ll get a smooth, dignified service, but instead, they might experience:

  • Unexpected costs (like getting charged extra for toppings you didn’t order).
  • Delays in service (causing stress for the grieving family).
  • A ceremony that doesn’t reflect the person’s wishes.

When you plan with an eziFunerals independent funeral home, you make sure:

  • Your funeral is delivered exactly as you wanted.
  • Your loved ones don’t have to scramble to fix mistakes.
  • You get the service you paid for on time, and hassle-free.

You wouldn’t accept the wrong pizza ”so why accept a funeral that isn’t what you wanted?

5. Who’s Paying for the Bill?

Imagine ordering a giant feast, and when the delivery driver arrives, everyone looks around wondering, Who’s paying? Awkward, right?

That’s exactly what happens when a funeral hasn’t been pre-planned.

  • The family is left scrambling to cover the costs.
  • People might go into debt just to pay for it.
  • Arguments start over who’s responsible.

With eziFunerals, you can:

  • Find a funeral director to pre-pay for your funeral and lock in today’s prices.
  • Set up a funeral bond so your loved ones aren’t burdened.
  • Leave a clear financial plan so nobody has to guess.
  • Take care of the bill in advance so your family doesn’t have to!

Final Thoughts: Funeral Planning Should Be as Easy as Ordering Pizza

Nobody likes last-minute stress, overpaying, or getting something they didn’t want. That’s why planning your funeral should be as simple as ordering a pizza:

  • Choose what you want (burial, cremation, memorial service).
  • Compare prices (get the best deal on funeral providers).
  • Order ahead (pre-plan so everything is ready).
  • Make sure it’s delivered right (so your family isn’t left guessing).
