The Benefits Of A Pre Paid Funeral Plan
The benefits of a funeral plan
Choosing a pre-paid funeral plan through your local funeral director ensures your funeral wishes are known, reducing the pressure on loved ones to ‘get things right’ at what can be an extremely difficult time.
A pre-paid funeral plan can give you the freedom to get on and enjoy life, with the peace of mind that your funeral arrangements are taken care of. Here are some of the benefits of taking out a funeral plan with your local funeral director.
No medical or health questions to answer
UK residents aged 18 or over can take out a funeral plan. For instalment plans, the final instalment must be paid before your 85th birthday. Terms and conditions and eligibility criteria apply.
Secure your funeral director's costs
Our plans cover your selected funeral director’s costs as long as your requirements don’t change and the original firm carries out your funeral. You can also include a contribution towards third party costs such as cremation fees, interment fees and officiant’s fees. These costs are outside of the funeral director’s control. If these costs, as listed in the plan details, are not covered by the plan value at the time of need there will be a balance to pay. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for more information.
Fully transferable
If you move, you should be able to transfer your plan to a funeral director near your new home. There may be more to pay depending on local prices and you will be advised of this at the time. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for more information.
Pay in full or by instalments
With one of our pre-paid funeral plans, you have the option make a single payment, pay by monthly instalments or a combination of both. Please refer to the Instalment Q&A and the Terms and Conditions for more information. Eligibility criteria applies and there's an additional cost for paying over two or more years. Your funeral director will be able to provide you with a personalised quote.
Local expertise and knowledge
When it comes to planning your service, having the help of an experienced funeral director with knowledge of the local area can be invaluable. At the time of the funeral itself, your family will have access to quality care and support and be sure to receive a sympathetic and compassionate service.
