Pre-payment of a Funeral

Pre-payment of funeral expenses is an increasingly popular option. Work and Income New Zealand does not count pre-paid funeral funds of up to $10,000 as a financial asset when considering an application for residential care subsidy. When someone is looking at full-time residential care, this can be a great advantage.
