Pre-Paid Funeral Melbourne- The Process and Steps
At Brember Family Funerals, we believe that planning a pre-paid funeral should be easy. We understand that death isn’t exactly what people love to talk about, and that expressing what you want from a funeral can be difficult.
Our pre-planning funeral process follows the same steps your family would follow:
1. First schedule an appointment:
We will guide you through the entire process and explain all available options. Our experienced staff can answer your questions about pre-planning and help you make informed decisions based on your preferences and budget. Our team can come to you we service the South Eastern & Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne
2. Tell us your wishes:
You can choose the type of service, location, music, floral arrangements, and other details you want included. Take time to consider whether you prefer a traditional burial or cremation, the venue for the service, specific readings or music selections, and any cultural or religious elements you’d like incorporated. The funeral director will document all your choices to ensure your wishes are honored.
3. Agree on a payment method:
You can pay the full amount upfront or in installments. Brember offer flexible payment plans to suit different financial situations.
4. Protect your investment:
Your payment is deposited into an authorised funeral bond, administered by an independent organisation as per the Funeral Act 2006 in Victoria.
Make sure you let your family or friends know that you’ve pre-paid a funeral and with our funeral home. When the time comes, they contact us and we can start putting your plan into action.
Here’s why choosing Brember Family Funerals makes all the difference:
- Independently held funds. Your funeral fund is held independently of Brember Family Funerals, separate from the business itself.
- Investment fund options. Funds can be placed into Capital Guaranteed, Conservative, or Moderate investment options, within a tax-effective environment that does not need to be reported.
- Pension and government entitlement considerations. Depending on your individual circumstances, your age, service, or government pension entitlements may be worth reviewing in the context of a pre-paid funeral plan. We recommend speaking with a financial adviser for personalised guidance.
- Experience and local knowledge. Our funeral directors bring years of experience working with Melbourne families. That background means they can walk you through options, explain what’s involved, and help you ask the right questions — so nothing is overlooked.
- Planning ahead for your family. Pre-paying for a funeral means arrangements are documented and funded in advance, reducing the decisions your family would otherwise need to make.
