We’re a generation of planners with no time, wedged between caring for our kids and our parents. But more families are telling us that a pre-planned funeral makes them feel better.

  • It makes sense
  • You can save money
  • Celebrate your life your way

Nothing morbid, just to make it easier on the kids, and it’s about doing it your way. A legal will and a pre‐planned funeral. It’s the talk we are having with a lot of Brisbane families.

At McCartney Family Funerals, we get it, because we’re a family too. Let’s have a look at why pre‐planning a funeral is a good idea. There are three great reasons to pre‐ plan a funeral:

It makes sense

Having your funeral wishes clearly planned, communicated to your family and paid for in advance takes the guess work out of planning a funeral when the time comes, and removes any risk of conflict between your family.

You can save money

Pre‐planning and paying for your funeral ahead of time enables you to secure today’s prices for your future funeral, meaning that you will most likely pay much less than if you wait until the time comes.

Celebrate your life your way

Not only will you relieve the pressure and stress from your family having to plan your funeral in the future, but you can make sure that your funeral is a celebration of your life in the best way that suits you.

You can talk to us today about pre‐planning your funeral by calling 1300 043 522 and one of our friendly team will make an appointment to visit you in the comfort of your own home to discuss your future funeral needs and how we can best support you in preparing for the future.
