There are some key questions to consider when deciding on a funeral plan provider, especially when you are parting with your money in advance.

1. What's actually covered in your plan?

Some providers promise to cover funeral director’s services, but not all guarantee third party costs such as the cremation and minister’s fee if you are having a cremation funeral. These could be an unwelcome surprise for your loved ones when the time comes.

Our Mail Finance Funeral Plans provided by Dignity guarantee these costs for a cremation funeral. There are no hidden charges so you can easily see what services are covered in each of the plan options.

2. How safe is my money?

Make sure the money you pay for your funeral is protected until it is needed. With some over-50s insurance policies you'll continue to pay until you turn 90, or pass away. This means you could pay in far more than is needed for your funeral. It is also good to check if you can get your money back at any time if you change your mind in the future.

Payments into a Mail Finance Funeral Plan go directly into the National Funeral Trust which is independen­tly managed by some of the most respected names in the industry to ensure the money of each and every planholder is protected.

3. Is the Funeral Plan guaranteed?

Some providers do not guarantee the plan – instead this sits with the funeral director, who is independen­t of that provider. This can mean there’s a risk that the guarantee won’t be honoured if the funeral director is no longer in business when the plan is needed.

With a Mail Finance Funeral Plan, Dignity provides the guarantee that the services included in the plan will be covered. All money paid for a funeral plan goes into The National Funeral Trust, which is specifical­ly designed to protect customer's money until it is needed to pay for a funeral. This makes

Dignity funeral plans some of the most financiall­y secure plans on the market today.

4. What support will my loved ones receive when the plan is needed?

Some plan providers vary the level of bereavemen­t support your loved ones have access to, depending on the plan option you buy.

This is not the case with Dignity. Your loved ones will be able to access support whenever they need it – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

5. If my circumstan­ces change, how flexible is the plan?

Unlike some other providers, Dignity’s funeral plans are portable across the UK. So if you choose to retire to the countrysid­e, or relocate anywhere in mainland UK, your plan moves with you. If required, you will be allocated a new funeral director at no extra cost.
