What happens if I pass away overseas?2026-04-23T13:17:30+10:00

If you pass away overseas, we can assist your family with repatriation services to help bring you home safely. This includes coordinating with overseas authorities, managing the required documentation, and arranging transport to ensure all legal and logistical requirements are properly handled.

At Australian Funeral Plan, we work alongside trusted specialists, including Amar Repatriation, to support families through each step of the process. Our role is to help ease the burden during a difficult time, ensuring everything is managed with care, dignity, and respect while your loved one is returned home.

Can I include special requests, such as military honours?2026-04-23T13:00:37+10:00

Yes, you can absolutely include special requests such as military honours when pre-planning in advance.

At Australian Funeral Plan, we encourage you to document any specific wishes as part of your pre-paid or pre-planned arrangements, so everything is clearly recorded and understood ahead of time. If military honours are important to you, we can note these preferences and guide you through what may be eligible at the time, including elements such as the presentation of the Australian flag, The Last Post, a minute’s silence, and other recognised ceremonial tributes coordinated with the appropriate defence or veteran services.

How do I obtain a death certificate?2026-04-23T13:08:54+10:00

When a person passes away, their death is registered with the relevant authorities, and the official death certificate is then issued by the government registry. Once it’s ready, it’s provided to the family so they can take care of any important legal and administrative matters.
