We believe our pre-paid funeral plan provides a thoughtful approach to putting your affairs in order.

Your desire to make things easier for your family is complemented by the knowledge and the experience that Alex Gow Funerals can bring to your pre-planning.

By organising your affairs in this way you can be well satisfied knowing you have protected your family from a sometimes unexpected expense at a most difficult time.

It is also important for your family to benefit from knowing they have carried out your wishes. Taking the time to sit down with one of our experienced funeral advisers and recording your wishes, will lighten the burden on your family and facilitate their desire to have things just the way you would have wanted them.

The Executor Funeral Plan provides this security so you can thoughtfully plan for the future.

Choosing a suitable funeral plan is as important as choosing the executor for your will. There are many qualities and attributes that need to be considered.

Freedom of choice.

When designing your Executor Funeral Plan, you can choose to pay just some of the expenses or if you wish, all of the expenses on a contribution towards cost basis, thereby minimizing any future expenditure on those items.

Some funeral plan literature may leave you believing all your funeral expenses have been paid for and you won't have to pay for anything else. This may not be the case. You should know to what extent items such as grave or cremation fees, newspaper notices, clergy fees etc. are covered in your funeral plan. Your Executor Funeral Plan consultant will explain clearly exactly what your position is so there is no possibility of any misunderstanding.

Flexibility
The unique flexibility of the Executor Funeral Plan gives you a wide choice of options so you can tailor your plan to suit your own individual requirements.

Understanding

The fact we are all human and therefore make mistakes is taken into account. The executor funeral plan does not impose penalties that mean you could lose your investment if for some reason your Executor Funeral Plan is not carried out by Alex Gow Funerals.

Lump sum or monthly instalments

With the Executor Funeral Plan, you have the choice of either paying your investment in just one lump sum or you may if you wish choose to pay by simple monthly instalments over a period.

Pensioner Entitlements

Your pension entitlements are protected. The money invested through your Executor Funeral Plan is not subject to the Australian Government's income and assets tests.

Capital Security

A vital component in your funeral plan is the security of your investment. Your financial investment in your Executor Funeral Plan is lodged in your choice of a number of Capital Guaranteed Funeral Bonds or Alex Gow's Funeral Benefit Business Trust Fund.
