Pre-arranged funerals

When you think about it, we plan ahead for just about every financial possibility in life. We take care of our house, car and health insurance, invest for our retirement and other important events. Yet, how many people really think about planning for those inevitable events that affect us emotionally as well as financially?

Walter Carter Pre-Arranged Funeral Plan

Pre-planning your funeral will...

  • Shield your family from the responsibility of making funeral arrangements immediately after a death.
  • Allow you to fully consider which Funeral Director best meets your needs and wishes.
  • Take away an enormous emotional and financial burden from your family.
  • Enable you to purchase your funeral service at current prices.
  • Give you the time to discuss this matter with your family and to fully consider what is required.
  • Ensure that everyone's wishes are taken into account and that family members know who to contact for assistance and where important personal documents and financial information are kept.
  • Allow you the opportunity to make alterations to your arrangements if the need arises.
  • Enable you to maximise your pension entitlement because any money paid into the Plan is not subject to the income or assets test or the deemed earning rules (according to current legislation).

When pre-paying your funeral, you will...

  • Be protected by the Funeral Funds Act, 1979 (NSW)
  • Have N.U.L.I.S. Nominees (Australia) Pty Ltd (a member company of the international Norwich Union Financial Services group) act as Trustee of your Plan.
  • Have the ongoing assistance of Walter Carter Pty Ltd, an Australian, family owned and independent funeral company since 1887
