Funeral Plans

More and more people are choosing to pre-arrange their funeral to reduce the emotional worry and anxiety for loved ones. Our plans guarantee that our funeral director's costs (as set out in the plan paperwork) are covered as long as we carry out the funeral and your requirements don't change.

You can also choose to make a contribution towards third party costs which are outside our control, such as the fees for cremation or burial, medical fees and payment to a minister or officiant.One of the main reasons that we recommend taking out one of our funeral plans is because they provide outstanding financial security for your money.

Over 50’s Plans
Report
An over 50s funeral plan is a life assurance policy which pays out a fixed lump sum when you pass away. They are typically purchased with funeral costs in mind, hence why they are often referred to as funeral expenses plans. An over 50s plan could work to your financial advantage if you die early in the life of the policy, because your claim will be for more than you have paid in.
