What is a funeral plan?

A funeral plan is a secure and cost-effective way of ensuring that your funeral is arranged and paid for in advance at today's prices.   It's a thoughtful way to make things easier for your family at what will be a difficult time.  You'll have arranged everything in advance: chosen your funeral director, specified your wishes and taken care of the funeral costs.

Avoid rising funeral costs

Taking a decision now to plan for your funeral and to cover funeral costs at today's prices is a sound financial decision. In 2004, the average cost of a funeral was £1,920. By 2014 it was £3,609* – that’s an increase of 88% in 10 years, well above inflation. If this trend continues, the average cost of a funeral in 2024 will be more than £6,800.
