A funeral plan to suit you

Prepaid funeral plans are a great way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the rising costs of a final farewell.

When you come to purchase your funeral plan, there are several options for you to consider, such as how you would like to pay or what you’d like your plan to include. Typically, funeral plan providers offer you three or four tiers of cover, each with distinctive benefits.

Each funeral plan provider will offer similar coverage under each tier, but it is worth reading the small print before you make any final decision on your funeral plan.

Bespoke funerals

In addition to offering the essential funeral basics outlined in the tiered plans, most funeral plan providers can also assist you in creating a funeral that truly reflects your passions in life.

More and more people are taking the time in creating their own personal send off. Whether you want a themed funeral based on travel, music, football or fashion or just want people to dress in a particular colour, you can outline your specific requirements and get the funeral you want.

The more you get under your policy, the more expensive it will be, so keep that in mind.
