Pre-Need Plans

Through the Jensen Funerals Pre-need Funeral Plan it is possible to pre arrange or prepay your own funeral, or the funeral of a loved one.

This may be discussed at one of our funeral homes, or if you prefer we can visit you for a no obligation discussion and quotation. We are also able to discuss the options over the phone or send you letter. The choice is yours.

The Benefits

Many people today are discovering the advantages of a prearranged funeral which include:

  • Helping ease the burden on family members when the time comes
  • Making sure your funeral wishes are known and recorded
  • Helping protect a full pension entitlement
  • Fixing the funeral price forever, if prepaid.

All prepaid funds are invested through the State Trustees with Forresters Friendly Society and are kept secure. See also statetrustees.com.au If you elect not to pay for the funeral now or to part-pay the funeral, the applicable price will be the price current at the time of death.

Payment Options

Once the details of your wishes are recorded, you may choose:

  • Not to prepay the funeral
  • To pay off the funeral by installments
  • To pay for the funeral in full.

If you choose to pay for the funeral in full the price is fixed forever and not subject to change.

If you elect not to pay for the funeral now or to part-pay the funeral, the applicable price will be the price current at the time of death.

Personal Wishes Form

When a death occurs, the funeral director gathers family details about the deceased to register the death with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

It is useful to complete this information prior to a death if possible, as it takes some stress away when the time comes.
