Pre-planning can help ease both emotional and financial pressure on your loved ones when the time comes.
Having a plan can bring reassurance. Taking the time to reflect on your wishes allows you to celebrate your life, your way, while helping reduce the burden on those you care about.
Once arranged, it’s settled
Once your wishes are documented, there’s comfort in knowing everything is organised. When the time comes, your family won’t need to guess what you would have wanted.

Time to reflect on what matters to you
Pre-planning gives you space to think about how you’d like to be remembered, including personal touches your loved ones may not otherwise know.
We partner with Guardian Plan, a trusted Australian prepaid funeral provider. With Guardian Plan, you can pay for specific funeral services at today’s prices.
Important information: Guardian Plan is a prepaid funeral plan where your funds are invested in a funeral bond issued by Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited (the Society) ABN 81 087 649 063 AFSL 524353. This product is a financial product and may not be suitable for everyone. Before making a decision, consider the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) available on our website and consider whether this option suits your needs. Seek independent financial advice if needed.
A prepaid funeral 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 to reduce financial and emotional pressure on loved ones in the future.
Prepaying a funeral is a personal decision. Some people value the peace of mind that comes from documenting their wishes and planning ahead, while others appreciate the ability to prepay selected services. It’s also worth considering that circumstances can change over time. Funeral prices may not increase as expected, or family members may make different choices when the time comes. It’s important to consider your individual situation and seek independent advice.
The cost depends on what you choose to include in your plan. Some people prepay specific items, such as a coffin, while others choose to prepay a full funeral service. Costs vary based on personal preferences and inclusions.
You can choose to pay the full amount upfront, or make an initial contribution followed by monthly instalments over up to 36 months. Once the plan is paid in full, there are no additional fees for the services included in your prepaid plan.
Very sympathetic & helpful during a horrible time in one's life, losing a loved one.
Everything and I mean everything was taken care of seamlessly.
At such a difficult time when ones brain is not functioning properly Archer and Sons, and in particular Tracy Cherry, managed everything as one would under better circumstances. I had total confidence in the team's professionalism which is a great relief. Thank you all.
It was a smooth process.
Every person I dealt with was helpful/respectful and compassionate
