Funeral Costs and Payment Options
Funeral Payments
Your funeral director is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the funeral service. An important part of this is coordinating payments for the goods and services associated with the funeral. These may include cemetery plots, cremation fees, floral tributes, funeral notices, catering, clergy, celebrants and musicians.
To make the process as straightforward as possible, all funeral expenses are itemised on one account, including the services provided by McCartney Family Funerals.
Payment Options
We accept the following payment methods:
Direct deposit (bank transfer)
Cash
BPAY
PayID
If your loved one held a bank account with sufficient funds to cover the funeral expenses, it may be possible for the bank to pay the funeral invoice directly from their account. This is subject to the bank’s requirements and approval.
Discussing Funeral Costs
We understand that discussing finances during a time of loss can feel difficult. However, having an open and honest conversation about funeral costs is an important part of planning a meaningful farewell.
Our funeral directors are here to guide you through the available choices, explain the associated expenses and help you make informed decisions that respect both your wishes and your budget.
When Is Payment Required?
All funeral expenses must be paid in full prior to the funeral service taking place.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding payment, we encourage you to speak with your funeral director as early as possible. We are here to provide clear information and support you throughout the planning process.
