Your final wishes, your way

Planning your own funeral ahead of time makes more sense than you think.

 

Pre-paying for your funeral locks in today’s prices, protecting you and your family from the impact of inflation on funeral costs. This can result in significant savings in the long run.

By pre-arranging and pre-paying for your funeral, you relieve your family from the emotional and financial stress of planning and paying for your funeral during a difficult time.
You can tailor your funeral plan to reflect your unique personality and preferences, creating a truly personalised and meaningful farewell.
Many pre-paid funeral plans offer flexible payment options, allowing you to pay in instalments or as a lump sum, depending on your financial situation.
Your pre-paid funeral plan is a contract that guarantees the services and items specified, providing peace of mind that your wishes will be fulfilled.
In Australia, pre-paid funeral funds are often exempt from the asset and income tests for government benefits, making them a viable option for many.
Pre-planning simplifies the funeral process for your loved ones, as they won’t need to make hasty decisions under emotional strain. Anyone who has arranged a funeral for will tell you how challenging it is to make those decisions for their loved one.
Funeral directors and providers can offer expert advice and guidance during the pre-planning process, ensuring all legal and practical considerations are addressed.

Your Questions Answered

For many families a funeral is a significant life event. The  choices made at the time of arranging a funeral can help to truly celebrate the life of your loved one and create a lasting memory. If you need help with funeral arrangements or funeral personalisation, speak to one of our Funeral Planners who will guide you through the process.

 

A Fixed Price Funeral Plan is a funeral that is paid for in advance, at a fixed price. This means that once you’ve worked out all the details and have confirmed the costs, you will sign an agreement between yourself and Tobin Brothers Funerals.

You will then pay for your funeral as agreed in your plan, and we will place the payments into a third-party fund, which is only paid to Tobin Brothers at the completion of your funeral service.

Tobin Brothers Funerals will ensure your wishes are carried out as you had arranged with us, and no additional costs will be incurred.

This means you not only alleviate your family having to plan and pay for your funeral, but will also save money by paying today’s prices.

A Pre Paid Funeral is any funeral that is paid for in advance.

While a Fixed Price Funeral Plan is a pre-paid funeral, the term pre-paid is sometimes used when referring to funeral bonds and insurance products, though these differ considerably in how they function.

With funeral insurance, the idea is that you are paying for your funeral to be covered in the event of your death, however, limitations in your coverage or any lapses in payment may render you liable for further costs. For this reason we do not consider his a ‘pre-paid funeral’ as such.

Another option that can fall under the ‘Pre Paid Funeral’ banner is funeral bonds, which allow you to invest money for the purpose of paying for your funeral in the future.

While it is a great idea to plan your funeral ahead of time for many reasons and funeral bonds provide funds for future funeral expenses, there is no guarantee that these funds will cover the full cost of the funeral, due to inflation or poor returns.

A Fixed Price Funeral Plan means a fixed amount is paid now, for a funeral in the future, with no further costs incurred despite any price increases in the future.

A Prearranged Funeral is when you simply plan your funeral ahead of time, letting your wishes be known and enlisting Tobin Brothers as your funeral directors for when the time comes.

However, as opposed to a Fixed Price Funeral Plan, payment for services is made once the service has taken place. The pricing in this case is not fixed and all funeral-related expenses will be charged at the rate they are at the time of the service.

Yes. Your money is securely invested into a third-party fund in accordance with the Funeral Act 2006. The funds cannot be accessed until the death has occurred.

As we approach 100 years of business, this scenario seems less and less likely.

However, should Tobin Brothers cease to operate for any reason, another Funeral Director would fulfil the Funeral Service obligations as the funds are securely invested with an impartial investment institution in your name.

Regardless of how the investment performs, the contract guarantees no further costs unless additional items or services are requested.

When it becomes impractical for Tobin Brothers to carry out the Funeral, the investment can be reassigned to the person’s estate or transferred to another Funeral Director.

If the death occurs outside of Tobin Brothers usual operating area, there may be additional costs for transportation, documentation, and other miscellaneous expenses.

It is possible to add “Travel Care” to the Funeral Plan contract, but this applies only to travel within Australia.

Speak with our staff to find out more about travel care.

Yes. The contract can be amended in writing.

If a less expensive item is selected, funds are refunded at the time of the Funeral Service. If additional services are required, they are invoiced at the time of the Funeral Service.

No, because the investment cannot be redeemed.

The investment companies are regulated by external bodies preventing them from cancelling and paying out policies prior to death. If necessary, refunds can be paid into the estate at the time of death.

There is an initial cooling off period of x days, but after that funds are only payable upon death.

Speak to one of our staff if you are unsure about this.

  • Pay in full - the price is fixed.
  • Take out one Contract as an "either/or" Funeral Plan.
  • Pay by instalments or,
  • Pre-arrange the Funeral - no payment would be required until such time as the Funeral is required.

An either/or contact allows for a couple to provide for the cost of the first Funeral, thereby alleviating financial burden on the surviving partner.

Yes, the initial instalment must include the Administration fee, any Cemetery/Crematorium fees, the GST payable and $500.00 to open the investment.

The balance may be paid in regular instalments for up to 3 years.

As the investment cannot be accessed, it cannot be used to generate income for you.

A Fixed Price Funeral Plan will not affect any pension payments and is not subject to the Income or Assets test.

Some clients find that investing funds in a Fixed Price Funeral Plan is an effective way to reduce their financial assets if required.

Fixed Price Funeral Plan (Assigned Investment)

  • The Funeral service is accurately priced and the total amount is invested.
  • The investment is assigned to Tobin Brothers Funerals, who receive the interest to offset ongoing Funeral cost increases.
  • When death occurs, the Funeral is conducted.
  • If the funds are not sufficient to meet the cost of the Funeral there is no extra charge to the executor or family.
  • An assigned Funeral bond, pre-purchased cemetery plots and cremation deeds are exempt from the Assets test regardless of their value.

Funeral Bond (Unassigned Investment)

  • You may invest an amount to meet Funeral expenses, and you receive the interest on those funds.
  • A specific Funeral Director is not selected, nor are specific Funeral arrangements made.
  • When death occurs, the investment is paid to the executor to contribute to the Funeral expenses.
  • If sufficient funds were not invested initially or the investment does not perform reasonably, the executor or estate is liable for any shortfall in funds.
  • An unassigned Funeral bond is only exempt from an assets test up to the value specified by Centrelink. (Refer to the www.centrelink.gov.au)
  • Centrelink must be informed if a Funeral bond is taken out, no matter how much is invested.

It is strongly recommended that you read the fine print carefully before contributing to Funeral Insurance.

Tobin Brothers Ringwood by far exceeded my expectations. Right from the beginning, they did everything to make me feel comfortable and valued. The service was perfectly facilitated right down to the finest detail and I felt Mum's life was truly honoured and celebrated. I can strongly recommend TB Ringwood from start to finish and I doubt any other could exceed their high standard of service and care.
Thank you TB Ringwood 💕

We would all like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Sophie Soklevski who was the Funeral Conductor for our beloved Dafinka Ristovski. We cannot thank her enough for being of service to us all and making this difficult time for the family a lot easier to bear. She went above and beyond in making sure everything went smoothly on the day and the family’s needs were taken care of every step of the way. Her presence was comforting and caring, respectful of all our needs and her compassion and empathy gave us all the strength we needed to continue moving forward. Her understanding of our cultural needs allowed the day to be seamless and flowed without any issues and we truly believe she is an asset to this industry, to Tobin Brothers, and an invaluable asset to the Orthodox community. Thank you Sophie from all of us, we appreciate you.

The team at Tobin Brothers East Burwood handled the funerals of both my parents beautifully and respectfully. You can organise funeral details or do clothing drop offs at any site which is handy if unable to attend the service site. We had priests as chosen by Tobin Brothers and they have been great. Had some light catering the second time around and the food was all delicious. Great option for a more personal experience. Thank you.

Such caring and detail-oriented people who made our family's life easier as we made arrangements after my mother's sudden death. They were compassionate, had a clearly laid out menu of offerings and prices (we held the service at a local venue and they handled everything), and provided as much support as needed (e.g. the Tributes team was happy to answer all my geeky questions about photo resolution and so on so her photo memorial was just right), and they handled all the printing, webcast production (a lot of people attended remotely as Mum had friends and family all around the world), etc. The celebrant who they hired for the service was superb - caring, professional, dedicated enough time to get to know enough about my mother and talk through how to craft the order of service so the full picture of her life could be painted. I've reached the age where other friends with elderly parents have asked what our experience with Tobin was, and I have unreservedly recommended them. You don't want to need their services, but when you do, Con and the team are there for you.

My friend, Joan Hutchinson, prepaid for her funeral with Tobin Bros. in 1991. She paid $2391.00. for everything necessary—pickup limousine, coffin, cremation, viewing, clergyperson—like everything. She died on the 23rd of December 2024, cremated with service at Fawkner on 9 January 2025—95 years of age. All paid for back in 1991. Her surviving relative, Alex, her brother, was very chuffed that this firm had honoured their agreement to the full. We even had Cathy Tobin there.

Words cannot express how deeply grateful we were to have Tobin Brothers hold my mother’s funeral. Everyone within the company was truly incredible. I especially want to thank Ricki who assisted us in the Dressing at Noble Park, it was such a sacred moment and she did beyond a wonderful job, her role was deeply appreciated and she carefully took us through the process in such a beautiful and considerate manner. It is something I’ll remember forever, so thank you deeply Ricki. Marie and Carol on the day along with Arthur were wonderful and also went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect - and it was. Our family is grateful for your attentiveness, care and support through the entire day and the process on the whole. Thank you again for making my Mother’s Day so special for us and for her.

From the moment we meet Julie on a Sunday morning, then Sharon, Celebrant, a few days later, I was confident every would go exactly as we wished. The music and photos were expertly done as was the printing and arrangement of Funeral Program. Our arrangements at Springvale went to plan, nothing seemed too difficult for the “Tobin Team“ we had. Very much appreciated, - Helen Lockett

My family and I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the beautiful service that Hai-Anh organised and delivered for our father. Hai-Anh helped us organise a traditional Vietnamese Buddhist ceremony as well as an English service. Hai-Anh's compassion and empathy was felt throughout her service delivery, always ensuring that we had a say in the decision-making process. From the very moment we first spoke to Hai-Anh right until the end of the service, we felt we were always in good hands - this is very reassuring during such a difficult time of grieving. Thank you so much Hai-Anh! You made the process so seamless!

We were given a USB stick with the service and the photos and a hard copy book of the photos also. The service was also Live Streamed. I recommend Tobin Brothers very highly.

We held a funeral for my Mother on Friday at Tobin Brothers, Doncaster and cannot thank Tobins enough for their care and professionalism. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. We were supported through the entire decision-making process and never felt rushed. What could have been a stressful time, was made seamless, which meant we could focus on our feelings and memories of Mum. I highly recommend them to anyone going through this difficult time themselves. Look no further.

In 2023 we had our service for Nan at Tobin Brothers Doncaster. Michelle met with the family and helped us set up a celebration of life for Nan. Who’d have thought a year later we would be back to see Michelle again, for my Dads celebration of life. Dad requested Tobin Brothers for his service, as he liked Nans Service and wanted his to be the same as hers. Michelle is compassionate and helpful, and made the process for us very easy. Thank-you Tobin Brothers Doncaster, especially Michelle.

Tobin Bros Doncaster organised my husband's funeral and I can't speak highly enough of the service I received. Every staff member I dealt with was highly professional, caring and patient. Nothing was too much trouble. All costs were explained upfront, allowing me to make decisions that were right for me. The chapel itself is quite beautiful, with a lovely outlook on a courtyard garden, a fitting place to remember and reflect, especially when bathed in morning sunshine. They gently took me step by step through the process, without any sense of pressure or hard sell and I was able to give my husband a beautiful send-off. Thank you.

A truly wonderful funeral home that encouraged our family to do things ourselves, not spend a lot of money and looked after us with such care. I was so impressed by their immense knowledge and personal touch. The morticians are incredibly skilled, and I am so grateful for the beautiful work they did to momentarily let us see our loved one again. Thank you everyone at Tobin Brothers Frankston.

Tobin Brothers made a difficult time as stress free as possible. This is the third family member who they have cared for and each time Tobin Brothers have provided a wonderful service.

I would highly recommend Tobin Brothers Glenroy to anyone going through the unfortunate process of organizing a funeral for a loved one. We went to them to organize a funeral for my father in Feb 2024 after his sudden passing. We had an immediate connection with our funeral director Shannon she was a blessing and made what was such a daunting and difficult time that much easier for me and my family. Our funeral celebrant David was very relateble and felt like a perfect fit for Dad's service. We cannot thank Shannon and all the team at Tobin Brothers enough for their help and support through the whole process. We will always remember the kind work they did for us and are comforted in knowing my father was well looked after and had a beautiful send off.

Alana was who I spoke to initially at Tobin, she was most helpful and took the time to go over everything with me. Tobin at Ringwood were fantastic, Sean was very caring and considerate they organised everything so beautifully and with such detail, even the funeral celebrant they suggested was terrific. We ended up having the funeral at Tobin in Doncaster as Ringwood was unavailable the day we wanted. Tobin Doncaster team were also fantastic, such a beautiful chapel with the sun streaming through. Everything went so well on the day! Thank you so much.

Kind, compassionate and thoughtful.. right from the very start of having to go through this experience we found Tobin brothers made the task of having to organise a funeral slightly an easier task. From the moment our loved one was picked up, I knew he was in caring hands. Michelle, thank you for all your support and advice and for helping give our Chris the send off he wanted. The team who were in charge of dressing him, you were on point, and he looked like the Chris we remember. Thank you

We had my fathers funeral on the 21/03/25 at Tobin Brothers-St Albans. From the time my father passed away at the nursing home on the 16/03/25 Tobin Brothers were amazing. My father passed away early hours of the morning & Tobin Brothers arrived to pick him up, they were so sympathetic/understanding to our whole family. The next day received a call from Tobin Brothers to come in on the Monday to arrange the necessary funeral & they just made it so memorable as we had purchased a prepaid funeral. They went through all the arrangements, music selection & how to assist in making my fathers Eulogy. Tobin Brothers gave my father the dignity & respect he deserved on the day of his funeral. Thank you to all the staff who provided a memorable, special day for my father & our family. Thank you for all your compassion & understanding that you provided to our family. You were all amazing, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU.

Our family recently worked with the team at Tobin Brothers in St Albans for the funeral of our mother/grandmother and we cannot speak more highly of them. Brook and Fran were outstanding in their service and their assistance for our family during this difficult time. On the day our family felt supported and cared for, and most importantly we felt comfortable with them like they were old friends. The entire Tobin Brothers team from start to finish, including Walter, Kerrin, Carol, David D and Aldo were fantastic. We thank them deeply for their support.

I wanted to thank you for the beautiful service you organised for my cousin Deryll. I am a funeral celebrant in Sydney and have heard so many good things about your organisation from my Victorian colleagues. The professional and compassion shown by your staff was not only comforting but it was obvious they truly cared about those attending (which hasn't always been my experience on occasion with other NSW organisations). I would highly recommend you to any families in your area. Thanks again. Sharon Swinbourne.

My Dad recently passed away, and I called a few Funeral Homes, until I spoke with Shannon at Tobin Bros Wodonga. Her kindness, compassion and care are nothing short of amazing. This lady is incredible. The sad process was made a little easier by having Shannon there. Her calls and updates, her humour, her tears, understanding, and her thoughtfulness make her so wonderful. I'm so glad that I called Tobin Bros, and met Shannon. She is an angel. I would highly recommend Tobin Bros, for service, quality, price, and above all compassion.

We were left devastated when my brother in law passed away unexpectedly, he had no funeral fund so we spoke to several different funeral homes. Tobin Bros was the most competitively priced and it in no way did it look like a budget funeral. We were treated with so much compassion and respect and nothing was an issue. We were offered an in house celebrant that conducted the service beautifully, he met with us before the funeral to get a feel for my brother in laws personality and life so that he could really personalise the service. Nikita the young funeral director that looked after us has a maturity and natural compassion beyond her years, she was so beautiful, kind and caring. We were so grateful for the respect and care she had for us and our brother in law. Highly recommend Tobin Brothers for anyone suffering bereavement and having to plan a funeral.
