Q.Frank
I'm a pensioner and my wife is in a nursing home, we are both on single old age pensions and I was wondering about the best way to go about prepaid funerals and also if there is any assistance for funerals etc, from Centrelink when we die?
A.At present, there is no assistance from Centrelink with the cost of funerals, however, for more information on the possible benefits a prepaid funeral plan or bond may have on your Centrelink assesment, click the link below.

Also, you may wish to contact the AFDA (Australian Funeral Directors Association)who will be able to give you more advice on how to chose the best plan for you and your wife. You can access their website by clicking the link below.
