A prepaid funeral plan takes the pressure off your family and puts the decisions in your hands. At Purslowe & Chipper Funerals, we help you plan ahead with confidence.
A prepaid funeral plan lets you arrange and pay for elements of your funeral in advance. It’s a practical way to ease the emotional and financial burden on your family later on.
Ease the burden
With a clear plan in place, your family won’t be left guessing or managing last-minute decisions.
Manage rising costs
With a prepaid funeral plan, the cost of your chosen service is secured at the time of planning – the price won't rise with inflation.
A celebration of you
Pre-planning lets you choose how you want to be remembered, whether it’s a quiet gathering or a celebration of life.
Plan in your own time
There’s no rush. You can sit down with one of our experienced team members and talk through your options at your own pace.
Guardian Plan is one of Australia’s most trusted prepaid funeral plan providers. With flexible options and clear documentation, it makes it easy to arrange and pay for your funeral in advance, so you can take care of your family, even after you’re gone.

Yes, our partner, Guardian Plan, offers multiple payment options. Once you agree the price of your Guardian plan prepaid funeral plan, you can either pay in full or pay a 30% deposit, followed by monthly instalments over 12, 24 or 36 months. Any outstanding instalment balance is required to be paid at the time of arranging the funeral.
Your funeral plan can usually be transferred to another provider within our extensive, Australia-wide network. So, if you move to a different state and want to change the location of your funeral service, we can accommodate that. Talk to us if your situation changes – we’re here to help.
You can plan as much or as little as you like. You’re welcome to decide on everything down to the music, readings and food served at the reception. But if you’d rather keep it light on the details, that’s fine too. We’ll make a record of your wishes.
Your money is securely held until the time comes to carry out the funeral.
Funds are invested with the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited, which appoints investment managers with appropriate expertise to manage the investments, in accordance with guidelines established by the Society, regulated by APRA.
When your family is ready, they can call the funeral director you nominate in your funeral plan. We’ll explain the next steps and take care of the service, following the plan you created.
Just how we had hoped.
We are extremely grateful to Marjorie and the team for making our daughter Melissa’s service perfect in every way. Her choice of celebrant was the best and proved how well she had listened to my husband and myself when we were talking about our beautiful princess. The attention that was paid to us and our family in the days leading up to the funeral and of course on the day itself made for a funeral that reflected our daughter’s life with such celebration.
We had Purslowe & Chipper support us in the past.
We knew we were in safe hands. From the first phone call we made, which was 12.30am, we had nothing but understanding and support right through our grieving. Ashley anticipated our needs at every stage. Gently helped us make decisions that were right for my family. I would highly recommend P&C to family and friends. It felt like we were looked after by our family.
Could not fault the process from the first meeting through to the service.
Your representative Kathy Csorogi was absolutely excellent explaining and planning all elements of Mums funeral and managed it so well on the day.
Whether you’re planning a farewell now or preparing for the future, we’re here to help. Call us any time – we’re available 24/7.
