Our Northern Beaches funeral specialists can help you understand how a prepaid funeral plan works and explore whether it feels right for you.
Putting a funeral plan in place can bring genuine peace of mind, for both you and your loved ones.
Once it’s planned, it’s taken care of
When your wishes are documented, there’s comfort in knowing they’re clear. A funeral plan provides guidance and helps ease the emotional burden on those you care about.
A gentle, supportive process
Pre-planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our experienced Northern Beaches funeral directors will guide you step by step, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
Time to reflect on what matters to you
Pre-planning gives you the opportunity to consider how you’d like to be remembered. From music and readings to personal touches, your funeral plan can capture important details, big and small.
We partner with Guardian Plan to offer prepaid funeral plans across the Northern Beaches and greater Sydney. A prepaid funeral plan allows you to arrange and pay for selected funeral services at today’s prices.
Guardian Plan is backed by InvoCare’s national network, giving you flexibility and confidence that your plan will be honoured when the time comes.

A prepaid funeral plan allows you to plan and pay for selected funeral services in advance, at today’s prices. It also provides an opportunity to record your wishes, helping reduce financial and emotional pressure on your family in the future.
Choosing a prepaid funeral plan is a personal decision. Many people value the peace of mind that comes from planning ahead and documenting their wishes. Others appreciate the ability to lock in prices and manage future costs.
It’s also important to consider that circumstances can change over time. Funeral prices may not increase as expected, or family preferences may differ. Taking time to understand your options and seeking independent advice can help you decide whether a funeral plan is right for you.
The cost of a prepaid funeral plan depends on what you choose to include. Some people prepay specific items, such as a coffin or cremation service. Others arrange and prepay a full funeral service. Costs vary based on your preferences, selected inclusions and where in the Northern Beaches you wish your farewell to take place.
With Guardian Plan, you can pay the full amount upfront or make an initial contribution followed by monthly instalments over up to 36 months. Once your prepaid funeral plan is paid in full, there are no additional fees for the services included in your plan.
We felt extremely cared for throughout the entire process.
From the first call, to expediting our meeting, to listening and supporting our family’s needs and meeting us where we were at without judgement, to the continuous support and availability throughout the process. Thank you.
The ceremony and aftermath were flawless.
Sue at Mona Vale was unfailingly kind and always helpful guiding us through this unfamiliar and difficult process. The choices, suggestions and recommendations she gave us were perfect and she always had time for our questions.
This is a difficult time, but Lise and Ann Wilson made it as easy as possible.
Lise was always kind and compassionate but also very efficient. She responded promptly, and made all arrangements smoothly. My parents had prearranged packages and these were followed perfectly.
Day or night, we're here to help. Whether you're facing a loss right now or planning for the future, our caring team is ready to support you.
