As
an accepted practice, we insure our homes and possessions
in case of an untoward event. We insure our motor cars, boats
in case they are damaged or stolen. It is wise then that
many people are now making plans, with or without funding,
for our inevitable passing.
A
pre arranged funeral is one that is planned in advance, with
the personal details and wishes for the funeral, recorded with
your chosen Funeral Director. When death occurs, the family,
or person responsible for making the funeral arrangements needs
only to sign the prepared documents and, in consultation with
the Funeral Director, set the day and time for the funeral. The
option of pre paying the funeral is usually offered at the time
of pre arrangement, however this is not a requirement.
It
is not morbid. When completing a house and contents insurance
policy
cover, we are not imagining the sound of the roof lifting
off in a cyclone, or a burglar sifting through our possessions.
When we pre arrange our funeral, we are neither imagining nor
wishing death upon us or our family. We are simply making some
very intelligent decisions for the future.
B.J.
Brady Funeral Directors endorse the "Australian Unity" Funeral
Benefit Plan. Australian Unity, is government approved and
designed to safely invest monies set aside to pay for a funeral.
This
fund is totally secure and safe. The fund grows through interest
and dividends paid over time itself, thus fixing and protecting
the cost of the funeral even though these costs will be affected
by inflation. If you are in receipt of a means tested pension,
current legislation allows for a major portion of the funds
to be exempt from consideration as an asset.
Having
pre arranged and costed a funeral at today's prices, you then,
by means
of a lump sum or agreed time payment scheme,
invest
the value of the funeral. This planning leaves your family
with little, if anything to pay when the funeral is needed.
Australian
Unity will allow you to nominate the Funeral Director of
your choice, to be the prime beneficiary of the plan you
have bought,
thus saving your family from administrative concerns. It
is kind to our loved ones, to spare those we leave
behind, the burden of decision making in the reality
of their grief and loss.
