Your service, your way
Pre-planning a funeral means your farewell reflects your wishes – from the type of service to personal details.
Blackwell Funerals partners with Guardian Plan, a trusted Australian prepaid funeral provider, to help you pre-plan a funeral that’s secure, flexible and tailored to your wishes – whatever they are.

Yes. Through our partner, Guardian Plan, you have the option to pay upfront or make a 30% deposit followed by monthly instalments over 12, 24 or 36 months. Any remaining balance is settled when the funeral takes place.
If you move outside of Adelaide, your plan can typically be transferred to another provider within our nationwide network. We can also help update the location or details of your service. Just let us know if your circumstances change and we'll take care of the rest.
No. You can plan as much or as little as you like. Some people prefer to record every detail, while others simply outline general preferences. Whatever you choose, we’ll document your wishes and ensure they’re respected.
Your funds are held until your funeral is arranged. They're invested by the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited, which works with expert investment managers and is regulated by APRA for your protection.
When the time comes, your family simply contacts the Adelaide funeral director named in your plan. We’ll guide them through the next steps with care and ensure everything is carried out according to your wishes.
We were treated with kindness, empathy and patience.
The care and compassion we received from Blackwell Funerals Payneham was really lovely during our difficult time. We were treated with kindness, empathy and patience. The staff were professional and guided us through the process of organising a funeral with ease, understanding and respecting our wishes throughout the process.
Both my parents had a prepaid funeral plan, which made things easier for me.
I can not thank David Cunningham enough for all the support he gave to me and my family when I was arranging both funerals.
My older brother and me have now arranged our prepaid funeral plans.
David arranged my brother’s funeral recently and we could not have asked for more.
Whether you've recently lost a loved one or you’re planning for the future, our team is always here to help.
