Your funeral could become a cost disaster for your family
The rising cost of living in Australia doesn't stop at death! Funerals in Australia now cost an average of $12,980.1
So it's likely that your loved ones will have to dig deep into their own pockets when you pass away! 2
Who is supposed to pay for that? Government no longer pays funeral benefits
Until 2004, surviving dependents received a so-called funeral benefit from the government, which significantly cushioned the cost of funerals – which were even lower at the time.3
In 2025, costs have exploded, yet there is no longer a government funeral benefit.4
Centrelink only provides assistance if the family absolutely cannot afford the funeral themselves. Otherwise, the family's savings or inheritance will be used first.5
But there is a simple solution to at least financially protect your family in the event of your death.
