Prepaid funerals provide peace of mind at ABC Cremations
Do we have a prepaid funeral plan?

Yes, We Do PrePaid Funeral Plans

If you are wanting to plan ahead and secure a simple low cost direct cremation at todays price, you may wish to consider a funeral plan. A prepaid funeral or fixed price funeral plan, ensures you and your family peace of mind, knowing all your affairs are in order and your funeral is fully paid. 

Pre Planning Your Cremation with a prepaid funeral

What is the difference between prepaying and pre planning a Cremation?


A Prepaid Funeral, also referred to as a Prepaid Cremation Plan or Fixed Price funeral plan, is one where you and ABC Cremations establish that Direct Cremation is your wish to contract and pay for now, for provision at a future date. 

The cost of your Prepaid Cremation is fixed, regardless of future price increases.

Your funds are invested in with Foresters Financial in strict accordance with the Funerals Act (1996) and the funds cannot be accessed until the cremation is provided; the funds are invested independently of ABC Cremations.

A pre-payment of a funeral does not impact on your pension entitlement, and is not subject to an income or asset test.

A Pre Arranged Cremation is one where you and ABC Cremations establish the funeral goods and services which you may utilise in the future.

Payment of the cremation is made when the service is conducted.

Where are your funds invested

FORESTERS FINANCIAL IS A LEADING FUNERAL INDUSTRY FUND MANAGER PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL SERVICe

Originating back in 1849 as the Ancient Order of Foresters, a Victorian friendly society, (now known as Foresters Financial was established amid community concerns about the lack of financial and social support in times of extreme hardship. By pooling their funds, Society members who experienced unemployment, sickness, death or disability could rely on financial assistance and support from the Society, to ensure they and their families were looked after during difficult times.


More than 170 years on, Foresters Financial continue that tradition as a member-owned Australian financial services provider of investment and insurance products with approximately $365 million in funds under management, serving over 80,000 members around Australia

ABC Cremations use and recommend Foresters Financial to ensure your funds are secure

How Safe is my Money?

The Fine Print

Planning ahead or organising a pre paid funeral can assist in reducing the financial and emotional stress usually associated with death. With Financial concerns taken care of, this leaves your family to support and arrange for your final farewell with peace of mind knowing everything has been organised and paid for. That is why the security of your Prepaid Funeral Plan funds is so important.


Most importantly your funds are invested in a capital guaranteed funeral benefit fund. Being capital guaranteed means your investment can never be less than your initial contribution (less any funeral director establishment fee) plus any annual bonuses that have been applied.Funds held in the Foresters Funeral Fund may only be invested in a manner as specified in the Benefit Fund Rules and the Life Insurance Act 1995. 


Foresters is also regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (‘APRA’) to whom it must report on a quarterly basis.Prudential Standards issued by APRA prescribe that money held in the benefit funds of a Friendly Society may only be used for the benefit of its members.If the Society were to cease to trade for any reason, the investments in the Funeral Fund could not be used to pay outstanding debts, but would continue to be held for the benefit of the Fund member.
