Why Should I Buy a Funeral Plan?
A pre-paid funeral allows you to make arrangements in advance, so your family won't face difficult decisions or unexpected costs when the time comes.
We have a range of plans and payment options available - so whatever your requirements we have a plan to suit your needs.
The Benefits of a Pre-Paid Plan
There are a range of emotional and financial benefits that planning ahead and arranging your funeral service can provide. We'll take you through our range of plans step-by-step so that you can make an informed decision.
How Pre-Paid Funeral Plans Work
Whichever funeral plan you choose, it's possible to spread the cost over a period of time that's convenient for you and your budget.
To make planning your funeral as simple as possible, we offer two types of funeral plan. Our Without Ceremony plan offers a simple, set plan for an unattended cremation. Our Bespoke Plan allows you to choose every aspect - simply speak to a member of our funeral team for more information.
How Are the Funds Held?
Your pre-paid funeral plan is administered by Ecclesiastical Planning Services, a trusted national provider. The money you pay (minus the initial administration fee and any payments to insure the plan if paying by instalments over two years or more) is held in an individual whole of life policy and ring-fenced for your funeral when it's needed. It can't be used for anything else, for your peace of mind.
