Taking out a pre-paid funeral plan is both a sensible and thoughtful way to lift the responsibility your passing will lay on your family and friends.

Knowing that the expenses of your funeral have been taken care of in advance is a weight off your mind. Trying to decide what a loved one would have wanted can be avoided if you make those decisions ahead of time. You will be able to rest assured that your wishes will be catered for.

A pre-payment plan is the best way to beat inflation, enabling you to pay today’s rates for your funeral without needing to open a savings account or start a life insurance policy. It doesn’t matter when the service may be required.

Funds are secured by the Funeral Planning Trust who will release your funds to your funeral director when the ceremony has been carried out.

How will you benefit from a pre-payment plan?

• All payments are secure – only released by the Funeral Planning Trust when required
• All plans comply with the Funeral Planning Authority’s code of practice and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
• Funeral plans can be taken out at any time with no age limit imposed
• We won’t ask you any imposing health questions
• You can avoid inflation by securing a fixed fee for the funeral charges
• You can deposit a lump sum or pay in instalments
• You can make your own arrangements knowing they will be carried out as you wish
• Your enquiry will be treated with confidence
• Your family can be saved the stress of making difficult decisions
