Most people plan
ahead - we plan for holidays, marriages, the future education of our children
and our retirement. And since dying is as much a part of life as being born,
funeral planning should also be as much a part of our planning as everything
else.
For most people, it's a fact that when you die the cost of your funeral will
place an immediate financial burden on your family. This can cause them
considerable stress.
But funeral insurance and funeral bonds are two products that
allow you prepare for the costs of a funeral well in advance of the need
to draw on them.
And because the plans we offer will pay benefits within one working day's
notice of a death (unlike superannuation funds or life insurance, which
can often take weeks until a death certificate is issued or probate is granted),
they allow your family to begin making funeral arrangements immediately with
complete confidence and peace of mind.
Sureplan have in excess of
19,000 members more than
$42 million
in assets. They're regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,
the Corporations Act 2001 and the Life Insurance Act 1995 so that you know
your investment is secure and fully protected.
Sureplan offer two excellent products that we believe are the best on the
Australian market:
-
Sureplan Funeral Insurance - which is available to anyone aged
under 56. With funeral insurance, you decide on the amount of coverage
you want and then you pay a small premium every week, month, 6-monthly or
annually until the age of 60. After this, you cease paying any premiums but
have complete lifetime coverage.
-
Sureplan Funeral Bonds - which is available to anyone aged 10 years
or older. A funeral bond is much the same as a savings bank account
except that you can't withdraw any funds after the initial "cooling off"
period. With funeral bonds, you contribute any amount you wish into the funeral
bond pool (either as a lump sum or on a regular basis). The funds in the
pool are then invested to earn bonuses which are distributed back to members.
And on your death, your family will receive back all your contributions plus
bonuses.
