A pre-paid funeral contract is where the family, with the assistance of Grobbelaars & Church Funeral Services, selects a coffin with services at the current price, and thereby make provision for the future.

This is not a funeral policy.  It is merely paying for your funeral in advance.  Like everything else funeral costs continue to increase.

To try and meet these expenses people have traditionally purchased funeral policies or left money in a savings account.  Unfortunately neither of these options can be relied upon to cover the cost of the funeral service.  In fact, the longer you live, the less likely they are to keep up with inflation.

Any person 70 years and older qualifies for the contract and no health questions need to be answered.

You select the funeral service exactly as you would like it to be and everything is recorded in your own personal planning document.

You make a once off payment now and the coffin, with the services you selected, will be provided when the need arises, at no further cost to you and your family.

You may include a contribution towards other expenses such as cemetery or cremation fees, doctors' fees for cremation documentation, donations to the minister, organist and verger, press notices and flowers.
