Savings plan
You can set up a regular savings plan to get started and take advantage of the power of compounding investment returns.
  • Why choose a FuneralBond? There are many reasons why planning for your funeral can be a positive experience rather than just an uncomfortable conversation. By investing in a FuneralBond you’re taking the pressure off your family when the time comes. With no age or health restrictions, you can also choose to incorporate the investment as part of a pre-paid funeral arrangement.

    Why choose a FuneralBond?

  • Tax-effective

    FuneralBond investments are taxed at a maximum effective rate of 30%, making it a tax effective way to save for future funeral expenses or to fund a pre-paid funeral. Plus, you’re not required to report any investment returns in your annual personal tax return.
