Planning Ahead

A Thoughtful choice

What is involved in preplanning a funeral?

Preplanning a funeral means different things to different people.  For some it is very much about documenting their wishes, sometimes in very simple terms and sometimes in great detail. For other people their main concern is setting aside funds to ease the financial burden for their loved ones.  For many people it is a combination of both.

Where do I start?

There are many choices and decisions to be considered when thinking about funeral pre-planning. Once you have had the chance to read through this guide, you may have some questions or have a better idea of what you want to include. If you would like time to discuss these options, we offer no-obligation appointments with our helpful and experienced Pre-planning Consultants. They can meet with you at our Kyneton, Gisborne or Kilmore locations or in your home, if you prefer. Please see later pages in this guide for further information about funeral costs and your options but, in our experience, it’s the conversation that is the most important thing and ensuring your family and loved ones know what your wishes are. That’s what eases the burden considerably, knowing they are following the wishes of the ones they love. Please remember there is no obligation to do anything more than have a conversation.
