Have you ever spent time, sometimes months in advance, arranging a wedding or birthday party?
Imagine if these events were arranged not only shadowed by grief, but in less than a week.
When the time comes to arrange a funeral, a lot of decisions need to be made. This can be eased by pre-planning.
Kings Funerals offer a complimentary service where we can sit down with you and record your personal details so that when the time comes, your thoughts are already documented.
Pre-planning funeral consultant Julie Spriggs says that apart from ensuring your wishes are considered, more importantly, pre-arranging can assist your family with the grieving process.
“Research shows that many people have chosen which songs are to be played at their funeral, yet only a very small number have made provisions for how the funeral will be paid,” she says.
“For pensioners, in January 2017, changes to the Pension Assets Test were introduced. The amount that can to be invested into a Funeral Bond, which is exempt for the Assets test, was recently increased to $13,000. Speak to your Financial Adviser to see if this relates to you.
“And don’t forget, if your funeral is pre-paid, we’ll lock in costs at today’s prices.”
