      What Happens if Death Occurs Interstate or Overseas?

      A Funeral Director should be notified immediately. They should be able to arrange for the transport of the deceased and attend to any statutory or customs requirements. In these circumstances there is usually an additional fee for the transportation of the deceased. Should the death and funeral occur overseas or interstate, the funds in the Pre-Paid Funeral Plan will be paid to the estate.


      What is a Pre-Paid Funeral?

      A Pre-Paid Funeral is a funeral purchased in advance. The type and style of funeral the client wants is documented in a written contract and paid for at today's prices. Subject to any specific terms of a Pre-Paid Funeral contract (e.g., if Government taxes are subsequently imposed or increased), the client will not have to pay any additional amount for that contracted funeral regardless of when the funeral is required.


      What if I Move my Residence Interstate?

      If you move interstate, you can rearrange your Pre-Paid Funeral Plan accordingly. We or your Funeral Director will be able to assist you with the transferring of your Plan to another Funeral Director. However, prices cannot necessarily be guaranteed on a transfer, as there are price differences between many country and city areas. The funds are required to stay in the secure investment you have arranged and can be accessed by the new Funeral Director at the time of the funeral.


      Can I Get My Money Out of a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan?

      No. You cannot withdraw from a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan prior to death, nor can it be used in any way other than to pay for your funeral expenses. If you are not completely satisfied with your Pre-Paid Funeral Plan, your investment can be cancelled, and your money refunded in full within 14 days of receipt of your investment confirmation. Otherwise, no withdrawal from a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan is permitted.


      What Happens if the Funeral Director I Choose Goes Out of Business?

      The money you pay for your Pre-Paid Funeral Plan is held by an independent entity and therefore is completely protected. It is invested in a separate fund in your name. It is not accessible by your Funeral Director until your funeral service has been provided. In the unlikely event that your original Funeral Director is no longer in business, you can organise to have the Plan transferred to another Funeral Director.


      If I Pay For My Funeral Now, Who Keeps the Money?

      The money you pay for your Pre-Paid Funeral Plan is held secure by an independent entity such as a friendly society or trustee company and is properly invested and safeguarded until such time as the funeral services under the Pre-Paid Funeral Plan are required. Only then will the funds be released to the Funeral Director.


      Can I Pay a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan by Instalments?

      There are two ways to make payments for a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan. You can pay for your Pre-Paid Funeral Plan in a lump sum, or your Funeral Director may give you the option to pay by instalments. This is usually arranged through a direct debit.
