Some people never get round to discussing funeral wishes with their loved ones, which can lead to all sorts of worry and anxiety when the time comes.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking out a funeral plan is a simple and straightforward way to remove this worry, and it can provide real financial benefits too. Some of the other benefits include:<\/p><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li>Pre-arrange the details of your funeral and record any special wishes, such as hymns, music choices and any other personal touches you would like your plan to include<\/li><li>Make financial provision for your funeral<\/li><li>Choose your funeral director in advance<\/li><li>Ensure your family has access to expert help at what can be a difficult time.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our funeral plan is available to UK residents and there are no complicated medical forms to complete. You can also appoint a nominated representative who we will keep informed about your plan, according to your instructions.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our plans cover our costs (as specified in the plan paperwork) as long as we carry out the funeral and your requirements don\u2019t change. You can also make a contribution towards third party costs, such as the cremation fees. These costs are outside of our control.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, please download our\u00a0<a

Funerals About our pre-paid funeral plans Planning ahead for your funeral is one of the most thoughtful and caring things you can do. Some people never get round to discussing funeral wishes with their loved ones, which can lead to all sorts of worry and anxiety when the time comes. Taking out a funeral plan is a simple and straightforward way to remove this worry, and it can provide real financial benefits too. Some of the other benefits include: Pre-arrange the details of your funeral and record any special wishes, such as hymns, music choices and any other personal touches you would like your plan to include Make financial provision for your funeral Choose your funeral director in advance Ensure your family has access to expert help at what can be a difficult time.

Can the plan include special wishes? You can add special wishes and requests such as song choices, readings, information for a eulogy and so on. There is no charge to add these details. There may be more to pay if you require additional features, services or upgrades. You can also appoint a nominated representative, who we will keep informed about your plan according to your instructions. Q. What happens if I move to a different part of the country? If you move, you should be able to transfer your plan to a funeral director near your new home. However, there may be additional costs depending on local prices.
