Pre-Planning Options

M.H.O’Rourke offers two different options to suit your individual financial needs

  1. Pre-Paid Funeral Plans
  2. Pre-Arranged Funeral Certificates

They are both worth a closer look.

Being Assured with a Pre-Arranged Funeral Certificate

Making decisions about a funeral can be difficult. Therefore, the most basic service we offer is a Pre-Arranged Funeral Certificate. It allows you to plan your funeral with no cost commitment and is obligation free.

What is a Pre-Arranged Funeral Certificate?

A Pre-Arranged Funeral Certificate states all your wishes for your funeral service and records your personal details.
Pre-arranging a funeral with us gives you the following benefits:

  • It makes the choices you want for your funeral clear to your family
  • It relieves the emotional stress placed upon your family in the future when they are faced with the choices of a funeral. “I want my personal wishes for my funeral to be known by my family.”
  • However, the choices expressed in a Pre-Arranged Funeral Certificate are not guaranteed as they are with a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan.

Being More Assured with a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan

Life is always about being one step ahead as no one can ever foresee the future. Be more assured of your choices with our Pre-Paid Funeral Plan. A Pre-Paid Funeral Plan is a service which enables you to pre-plan and pay for your funeral at today’s costs. It is a sensible decision often following a Will.

What is a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan?

There are two parts to a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan.

  • Part One –  A contract for a future funeral service
  • Part Two – Investment contract with a registered funeral fund

Consider the benefits of our Pre-Paid Funeral Plan:

  • The price of the funeral is fixed at today’s prices and protects you against future price rises
  • Protects your family from the financial burden at a time of considerable emotion and stress “When Dad died, we were at a loss. But thankfully, he had a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan with M.H.O’Rourke. We were assured his funeral was the way he wanted it.”
