Prepaid funerals

Planning ahead is one of the kindest gifts you can give your family. Prepaid funerals allow you to record your wishes, organise important details, and – if you choose – set aside funds in advance. At Guyetts Funerals in Warrnambool, we offer two thoughtful options to help you prepare with clarity, confidence and peace of mind: funeral bonds and pre-arranged funerals.

Whether you want to ease the future emotional burden on loved ones, ensure your preferences are honoured, or make practical arrangements in advance, our team is here to guide you gently through the process.

Funeral bonds

Funeral bonds are a secure financial product that allows you to put aside funds specifically for future funeral expenses. They accumulate interest over time and are exempt from Centrelink/DVA assets and income tests (up to the allowable limit), making them a helpful option for both planning and financial protection.

A funeral bond can be taken out independently or with Guyetts Funerals as your nominated funeral director. Funds are only released at the time of your passing and are used solely for funeral-related costs.

Pre-arranged funerals

A pre-arranged funeral records your personal wishes and the details your family will need when the time comes. It does not require any upfront payment and is not legally binding, but it helps your loved ones feel confident that they are honouring your intentions.

You can meet with us in person, complete a profile booklet at home, or request a home visit if that’s easier. We’ll keep your information safely on file for when it’s needed.
