Pre Paid Funeral Plans
Pre-paid funeral plans
Thinking about your own funeral is never an easy thing to do, but planning ahead can bring real peace of mind.
With our funeral plans, you can rest assured that your personal funeral wishes will be recorded and you can cover your selected funeral director’s costs. As long as the original firm carries out your funeral and your requirements don’t change, your family won’t be asked to pay more for these costs, regardless of how long you live or what happens to costs in the meantime.
You can also include a contribution towards third party costs such as the fees for cremation or interment, doctor's fees (if applicable) and payment to an officiant. Find out more here.
Of course, making the right choice matters and this website is designed to help guide you through the options available to ensure your funeral plan is right for you. Once you’ve set up your plan, you can get on with life knowing that your funeral arrangements are taken care of.
Personalise your funeral plan to suit your needs
Whether you would like a ‘no frills’ cremation or a more comprehensive funeral service, your funeral director can help design a plan to suit you. As well as the typical services, such as collection and care of the deceased and provision of the funeral arrangements including a hearse and one or more limousines, here are some themes which customers have already requested:
- Military
- Motorcycle hearse
- Victorian horse-drawn hearse
- Grand American-style casket
- Woven, environmentally friendly coffin
- Woodland burial (usually excludes plot)
- Customised picture coffins
Funeral plan options
You can choose from a range of set plans, based on the most commonly-requested funeral arrangements, or create your own personalised plan.
All plans are flexible and can be amended or added to once fully paid. There may be additional costs if you add new features and services to your plan.
You may also like to think about any readings, music or other special requests that you would like your plan to include. This information will be recorded by your chosen funeral director and kept safe until it is needed.
Here are some of the services you may wish to consider including in your funeral plan:
- Viewing of the deceased
- Provision of a limousine(s)
- Pallbearers to convey the coffin
- The collection and administration of charitable donations
