Funeral Bond

At Traditional Funerals, we believe every member of the community should be entitled to rest easy with reliable, trusted funeral cover regardless of age. That’s why we recommend Sureplan Gold funeral insurance – a safe and secure funeral bond for over 55s. Funeral bonds are simple and tax effective ways of growing your funds in a secure environment to meet the expense of funerals. Funeral bonds also have significant advantages for means tested Centrelink and Department of Veterans’ Affair pensioners.

How does a Sureplan Gold Funeral Bond Work?

Sureplan Gold Funeral Bonds work in a similar way to a savings account as bonuses can be added to whatever you invest. As an example, if you were to invest $5,000 in a funeral bond and it returned an annual bonus rate of 5% p.a. for that year, your total investment would grow to $5,250. With your money secured, funeral preplanning can be taken care of easily and efficiently. (Please note that no indication of bonus rates is implied in the above example as the ability to pay a bonus and any future bonus rates will be reflective of the prevailing market conditions at that time).
