Brits are putting off planning their funerals until the age of 70, with one in three never getting round to it, new research reveals.

As a nation, we struggle when it comes to talking about funerals – whether it's plans for our own send-off or for a loved one. Common reasons people give for not wanting to think about their funeral sooner included that they found it depressing (24%) and terrifying (10%)**.

Despite this, 70% of people say they would feel guilty leaving their family with debt when they die**. Two thirds of people (67%) acknowledged that they would like their funeral to be a happy occasion for those left behind**.

We have partnered with one of the leading funeral plan providers Dignity to offer Express readers a solution – a Prepaid Funeral Plan that does not cost the earth and provides expert help and support for your loved ones.

With a Dignity plan all the main details are taken care of – from choosing the funeral director to dealing with the paper-work, organising the service and arranging transport. There are four plan options to choose from depending on your circumstances and you can add your own special requests to the plans.

Once a plan is paid for, you and your family won't be asked for a penny more for the services included. Your family will receive all the help and guidance they need at one of the most difficult times in their lives and you can simply get on with enjoying life with the peace of mind that everything is sorted for later.
