Funeral loan options: covering funeral and related costs
There are times when you may need access to money to cover an expense, whether it’s something unexpected or a cost that’s come up sooner than planned.
A funeral loan can take some of the financial pressure off during an already difficult time. Beforepay offers a Personal Loan of up to $5,000 to help cover funeral costs, whether that's the funeral director's fee, a cremation or burial, a headstone, or related costs like flowers, catering, or notices.
Funeral costs in Australia vary widely depending on the type of service, but a simple cremation typically starts from a few thousand dollars, while a full burial service can run well past $10,000. A $5,000 loan may cover a modest funeral outright, or fill the gap between what a prepaid funeral plan, insurance payout, or bereavement payment covers and what's still owed.
Eligibility and affordability
Applications go through an affordability assessment based on your income and expenses, so approval isn't guaranteed. Full criteria are on our eligibility page.
Applying for a funeral loan
You can apply online, and once approved, funds can be paid out in as little as 5 minutes for approved customers. Repayments are set against your pay cycle so you know what's due and when. See how it works or our Personal Loan product page for details.
