We put together your funeral plan with the same level of detail as if it was today, no detail is too small to be taken into consideration.
A lot of decisions don’t necessarily incur a financial cost but are still important for your family to know. For example, whether you’d like to be dressed in your own clothes, what music you’d like to be played, where you’d like the funeral cortege to leave from, what your favourite flowers are or whether you’d like the curtains at the crematorium to be left open or be closed to name but a few. This is part of our promise to you that we will go through all the finer details that truly gives you the funeral you want and without any uncertainty for your loved ones.
We recommend arranging an appointment with one of our fully trained consultants to go through everything at your pace (either at your home or in our funeral home, whichever you are most comfortable with), without any pressure or obligation. We are here to look after you as if you were part of our own family.

How much do Pre-Paid Funeral plans cost?
Planning ahead makes great financial sense. The average cost of a funeral has increased by 20% in 10 years*, mainly due to the increase of third-party costs such as crematorium fees. This means that this has outstripped inflation in recent years and therefore there is no guarantee your bank or building society savings will cover the cost of your funeral.
The cost of a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan depends on the funeral service you would like. To compare funeral plans please click here
