Pros
Verdict
Overall sentiment regarding Australian Seniors Funeral Insurance is highly positive, with customers frequently praising the professionalism, patience, and empathy of the phone support team. Policyholders appreciate the straightforward setup process and the efficiency of the claims department when assisting families through bereavement. While the vast majority of experiences reflect satisfaction with customer service and clear communication, a small number of reviews note concerns regarding long-term affordability and policy administration details.
I recently spoke with Jonathan from Australian Seniors Funeral Plan and I’m very grateful for his help. He was so friendly, approachable and genuinely lovely to speak with. Jonathan was very knowledgeable about the products and explained everything clearly and patiently. He answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything without… Read more

Zac was wonderful. He listened to what I wanted and gave me time to come to my own decision. Other companies constantly hounded me with phone calls and weren’t listening when I said I had just lost my husband and needed time to consider my options. Zac made it very simple for me which I was grateful for. Show details · 1

Negative reviews
I would give this company a minus 3 stars but it won't let me. My parents have paid over 26000 dollars in funeral insurance. I went through 6 weeks of hell dealing with them when my mother passed away as my dad has dementia. I then asked them to help me sort out my father's funeral insurance so when he passed it wouldn't be so hard. All they told… Read more
me at the end of that process was if he passed away after 88 his policy would be cancelled and there would be no refund, ( just what you want to hear whilst dealing with grief). I was under the impression by the representative at that time, that we had achieved that. Now 3 years later my father has passed away and they are refusing to release the funds unless it goes to an estate because their representative " forgot" to send me beneficiary paperwork. Not once was this mentioned to me or sent to me as a product disclosure,. I'm fast losing hope that we will see the funds my parents have given them. It's so bloody wrong trying to deal with grief and then deal with Australian Seniors, I would never recommend this company ever!
My mother was late with payment of her premiums, she tried to do it through her bank directly, but there was no such option. I paid her outstanding premiums with my credit card online (that sum was definitely taken from my bank account by their company). However, they were still sending letters saying that she missed those payments and have now… Read more
cancelled her policy. When I tried to find out what was happening, would not communicate with me, even though I was already dealing with Australian Seniors in 2023 when her husband passed away. Would not recommend this company to anyone, very rigid and heartless, they just do not care about their customers.
Addit: I have tried to find some answers through their representative prior publishing this review. It was useless, just pretending that they are trying to resolve an issue, but I did not get any answers. The company can keep those $50 that they took from me. Do not use this company, if something goes wrong with your policy, you will never get any answers.

I was offered this after taking out Australian Seniors Health Cover. Sensitive subject but I was assisted by a patient person, who was happy to explain everything and let me take my time to make up my mind. I also was happy with the quote, expecting this to be beyond my reach. It has all been a positive experience. Show details · 1
The young man that I spoke to was wonderful. He was articulate spoke with confidence answering all my questions. We had a friendly conversation but professional all the same. He explained the insurance details so that I understood and was accommodating to my financial schedule. Good job.
