Choose your investment option

The FuneralPlan Bond has the specific purpose of meeting your future funeral expenses. You can choose the capital guaranteed investment option, which means your contributions and allocated bonuses are always secure. Or you can choose the Conservative or Moderate investment options if you want to increase the value of your policy through a combination of income and capital growth.

Freedom and flexibility

You have the freedom to nominate your own funeral director and the type of service you would like at a later date.

You can open an account with a lump sum of $500 and top up at any time with a minimum of $50; or start with $100 with a minimum $50 per month on an instalment plan. You also have the freedom to stop paying instalments at any time without penalty if your circumstances change.

Tax benefits

Your FuneralPlan Bond will not affect your means tested pension so you can invest up to the current Government threshold (see Services Australia). There is no limit to your investment if the means test is not applicable to your personal circumstances. Annual bonuses are also exempt from personal income tax.
