Prepaid Funerals
for Mandurah Families
Arrange your farewell in advance at today's prices, with a local independent funeral home just up the road in Port Kennedy. No corporate chains, no pressure — just honest guidance for Mandurah and Peel families planning ahead.
Serving Mandurah Families from Port Kennedy
Greenfields Funerals is a family-owned, 100% West Australian funeral home serving Mandurah and the wider Peel region from our chapel in Port Kennedy — roughly a twenty minute drive away. We look after families from Halls Head, Meadow Springs, Dudley Park, Erskine, Falcon, Greenfields, Madora Bay, Lakelands, and right through to Pinjarra and the Peel inland communities.
Because we're independent, your prepaid plan is arranged with the same small team who will actually look after your family on the day — Kylie and Ann, our senior funeral arrangers, and Paul, our owner. When your family eventually calls us, they won't reach a national call centre or a stranger working from a script. They'll reach the people you sat with when the plan was made.
We conduct services at Mandurah Cemetery and all major crematoriums and cemeteries across Perth and the South West. If your family prefers a service closer to home, we bring the funeral to you — many Mandurah families choose a graveside farewell at Mandurah Cemetery followed by a gathering at a local venue, rather than travelling up to Perth.
What a Prepaid Funeral Actually Means
A prepaid funeral is exactly what it sounds like: you decide what you want for your farewell, put it in writing, and pay for it now at today's prices. Your money doesn't go to the funeral home — it goes into a regulated funeral bond protected by Western Australian law, held independently until the funeral actually takes place.
For Mandurah families, the most common reason for prepaying isn't the money at all. It's the wish to spare adult children — often living in Perth, interstate, or overseas — the burden of making urgent decisions during grief. When the time comes, your family simply calls Greenfields. Everything has already been decided by you. They can focus on being together.
Why Mandurah Families Choose Prepaid Plans
Mandurah has one of the highest retiree populations in Western Australia, and prepaid funerals are one of the most common pieces of estate planning we help local families with. Here's why.
Spare Your Family Hard Decisions
Many Mandurah retirees have adult children living in Perth or interstate. Prepaying means your family isn't suddenly making difficult choices under pressure, from far away, while grieving. Everything has already been decided calmly, by you.
Lock in Today's Prices Forever
Funeral costs rise 3–5% every year. A prepaid plan at today's prices means your family will never be asked to pay the difference — no matter how many years pass before it's needed. The average funeral has increased by over $3,000 in the last decade.
Protect Your Age Pension
Prepaid funeral bonds are excluded from the Centrelink assets test. For Mandurah retirees living on a full or part pension, prepaying can actually protect your pension payments while also sorting your farewell.
Decide at Your Own Pace
There's no rush when you prepay. You can take weeks to think, talk it over with family, even change your mind about details — all without the pressure of grief or time limits that come with an at-need arrangement.
Prepaid Funeral Pricing for Mandurah Families
All prepaid prices include a $395 administration fee for establishing the funeral bond. Funds are held in a regulated trust, protected by law and independent of the funeral home. The same pricing applies whether you live in Mandurah, Halls Head, Falcon, or anywhere in the Peel region.
Prepaid Direct Cremation
No service or viewing. Transfer, professional care, coffin, all permits, cremation, and return of ashes. The simplest option — your family has nothing to organise.
Prepaid Simple Service
Chapel ceremony at Port Kennedy or graveside at Mandurah Cemetery, hearse, standard care, basic coffin, and cremation. Your family gathers and says farewell.
Prepaid Complete Funeral
Premium coffin, cosmetics, $400 flowers, urn allowance, live streaming for interstate family, and everything included. The most comprehensive option.
How Your Money Is Protected
Regulated Australian funeral bond
Your funds are held in a regulated funeral bond. The funeral home cannot access the money until the funeral takes place — it's protected by Western Australian and federal law.
Protected if the funeral home changes
Because the money is in an independent trust, it is protected if the funeral home changes ownership, is sold, or closes. Your plan stays valid regardless of what happens to any individual business.
Excluded from pension assets test
Prepaid funeral bonds are exempt assets under Centrelink rules. For Mandurah retirees, this means prepaying can actually protect your Age Pension payments while sorting your farewell at the same time.
Fully transferable
If you move away from Mandurah — interstate or to a region we don't service — your prepaid plan can be transferred to another provider. You're not locked in to Greenfields forever, though we hope you'll stay.
