Here at Tomorrow Funerals, we guide families through accessing the TAC funeral benefits, ensuring you maximise the full funds available with our modern approach to funerals.
We offer a comprehensive package, including the cremation, eco-friendly coffin, a funeral celebrant, and our Stories Bundle (tribute video, memorial site, etc.). We also help families navigate TAC’s child and senior resources. With our expertise, we help you claim directly and plan a thoughtful, personalised farewell.
Q: What is the TAC funeral benefit, and how does it help families?
A: The TAC, which stands for ‘Transport Accident Commission‘ is a Victorian (Australia) ‘no-fault’, insurance scheme.
The TAC provides up to a certain amount toward funeral costs for those who’ve died in a transport accident.
At a time of great stress, shock and grief, we help families navigate this process with ease.
Q: How does Tomorrow Funerals support families using TAC funds?
A: We offer a simple, transparent $7,200 package covering all funeral elements from the cremation, transfers, eco-friendly coffin, and more.
On top of this cost, we ensure families maximise the TAC contribution, utilising the funds provided for extra items not included in our funeral package. For example: a modern event space to hold the memorial, catering and drinks, flowers, a private viewing if required, memorial jewellery, a streaming service and more.
The TAC also pays for support services you may require after a transport accident, such as medical treatment, rehabilitation and disability services or other things like home support and child care services.
Q: What makes your approach different from a traditional funeral parlour?
A: We provide a modern, thoughtful funeral experience. There are three main parts to our package: 1. The funeral elements, 2. An experienced, caring Funeral Celebrant, 3. Our Stories Bundle including a tribute video, a memorial website, and lots more. We help you create a deeply personal farewell.
Q: What are the benefits of using an independent, modern funeral home like Tomorrow Funerals when you are working within the TAC funds?
A: With a modern, independent approach, you get personalised service tailored to your needs – no rigid, old-fashioned structures. We ensure the TAC funds are maximised on meaningful elements, while offering flexibility, transparency, and a compassionate, contemporary experience.
Q: What kind of extras could be added from external suppliers to maximise the funds available from TAC?
A: Families might choose additional floral arrangements, quality catering and drinks, interesting memorial jewellery with the fingerprint of your loved one, a streaming service and more. On top of that, we will help you locate interesting venues, from beachside restaurants, bars, galleries, pubs, sporting clubs or even more traditional memorial locations like chapels.
We help coordinate all of these extras directly with suppliers, ensuring the TAC funds are fully utilised in ways that are personal to each family.
Q: Can Tomorrow Funerals also help with TAC support for children or seniors?
A: Absolutely. We can guide families to TAC’s resources for children’s recovery and senior driver safety, ensuring holistic support.
