If you are looking to save money on the cost of a funeral, one idea that you might like to consider is prepaying your cremation fee or choosing your grave and pre-purchasing it or at least starting to pay it off.
Cremation fees have increased in price between $50-$100 per year over the last ten years and this is not going to stop anytime soon. Depending on what crematorium you choose, you have the option to purchase a cremation deed at today’s prices. With the team at Victorian Cremations, your cremation will take place at Springvale Crematorium but you will pay around $905 with a prepaid cremation deed.

If you or your family choose to pay for the cremation at the time of your death, it will cost around $200 more. The crematoriums at Fawkner, Lilydale and Altona will also offer the opportunity to pre-purchase a cremation deed at today’s prices.
If you choose to be buried, purchasing a grave at the cemetery of your choice is a good idea.
Hopefully the cemetery that you want to be buried in will have spaces left and the bonus is that you get to buy one at today’s prices as they will more than likely increase as well in the forthcoming years.
