Funeral planning

Discussing funerals and plans may not be acceptable dinner party fodder but it is important for people to know what you want. Changes to recent legislation mean a simplified process and a better understanding of what is available.

Issued by the NSW Office of Fair Trading, Funerals, is a handy downloadable brochure which details different options for funerals, what to consider when arranging a funeral and what to do if something goes wrong. Changes to legislation require funeral directors to provide itemised quotes on a basic funeral option, if they have one.

To download the brochure, visit the NSW Office of Fair Trading.

For handy information on organising a funeral, they also have a webpage with useful tips. For more information, visit Organising a funeral.
