FuneralBond
Planning for your funeral can ease the burden for those you leave behind

FuneralBond is a simple and tax effective way to help meet your future funeral costs, with no age or health restrictions. You can incorporate the investment as part of a pre-paid funeral arrangement and there is also the potential to improve pension benefits.

  • 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.
