For many of us, friends and family are the most important thing in life. You can always rely on them during hard times so it’s nice to ensure they’re looked after when it matters most. That’s where funeral insurance can help.
Funeral insurance gives your loved ones a lump-sum payout when you pass away, helping to cover your funeral or other expenses left behind. This makes a difficult time much easier for those closest to you, letting them honour your last wishes without the added stress or expense.
Here are some common reasons to consider funeral insurance for you and your loved ones:
The last thing your family needs when you’re gone is to worry about finances. Unfortunately, the average cost of a funeral alone is over $7,000. That can be very difficult for loved ones to pay on such short notice.
With funeral insurance, you can choose a benefit amount of up to $15,000 which your family can use to pay for your funeral.
It’s common to leave behind unpaid expenses when you pass away. On top of the cost of your funeral, there may also be outstanding debts or bills that you haven’t had a chance to settle.
That’s why funeral insurance is designed as a lump-sum payout. Your beneficiaries can use the money wherever it’s needed most, so they’re not left to find the money at a difficult time.
When you take out Seniors Funeral Insurance, you can choose a cover amount between $3,000 and $15,000, depending on your and your family’s personal needs. Plus, once you turn 85, you will no longer need to pay any premiums, and you will also receive an extra 25% Bonus Cover for even greater peace of mind.
You don’t need to worry about your financial situation changing as you get older – Seniors Funeral Insurance also comes with an Early Cash Out Option, which means you can end your policy and receive 75% of your cover amount after you reach 85 years of age.
You can see our Frequently Asked Questions or Product Disclosure Statement for more information. Call our friendly team today to discuss your family’s needs on 1300 078 596.

In most cases, funeral insurance premiums are not tax deductible. But there’s generally no tax on the benefits that you or your beneficiaries will receive.
However, it’s always possible that tax laws may change in future. What’s more, this may not apply to your specific situation. So, it’s important to seek qualified professional advice about the tax implications of any insurance product.
Yes, as long as your parents are Australian residents aged 40 to 79 you’re eligible to apply for Seniors Funeral Insurance.
An ‘Accidental Death’ is a death occurring as the direct result of an Accident and where death occurs within 90 days of the Accident.
An ‘Accident’ means an event resulting in bodily injury occurring, where the injury is directly and solely caused by accidental, violent, external and visible means without any other contributing causes and where the injury is not self-inflicted.
