Pre-planning is something we do all our lives. We put money aside for holidays, weddings, retirement and other important events. We have or have thought about making a will, planning for a funeral is a natural extension of these actions.

Although this is a subject many are reluctant to discuss, those who would otherwise assume the responsibility will long remember your thoughtfulness.

Not sad or morbid, just simple, sensible and practical.

There are only two parts to a complete funeral plan, each taken on it’s own or together:-

1) Pre-Plan

» your wishes are recorded on our files and carried out as instructed.
» Record personal details and family history that may not be known by others.
» Specify different aspects of your service, burial, cremation, location, music, clothes, etc.
» Reduces the stress of indecision & uncertainty when death occurs.
» Lessen the emotional burden on your loved ones.
- Return the completed form to Rankins.

2) Funeral Bond, allows you to set aside money for the funeral costs.

» Remove the financial burden from your loved ones.
» Peace of mind knowing your affairs are in order.
» Prevents emotional overspending
» Maximise your pension entitlement, this bond is not subject to the income & assets test.
