Protect your loved ones against unexpected costs
Covering the cost of your funeral, no matter how far in the future itmay be, could ease the burden on your nearest and dearest at a time of sorrow and stress. So when you take out a funeral plan you want to be sure exactly what is included. In addition to Funeral Director Services there are third party fees that apply such as cremation or burial fees, and Minister or Officiant fees.
It does not pay to compare funeral plans on price alone without knowing exactly what you are paying for; and what may appear to be a cheaper option initially, could leave your loved ones facing additional unexpected costs at the time of the funeral if the provider hasn’t been clear on which third party costs are covered.
Funeral Plans are a sensible option considering that average funeral costs have risen by a considerable 63% since 2007 and it’s forecasted that by 2023 the average funeral could cost over £ 6,000*. None of us want to burden our family with such an expense at an already stressful time. In fact over a million people in the UK have seen the benefit of a Funeral Plan; over half of which have done so with Dignity because of their distinctive level of cover that is competitively priced but more importantly provides great peace of mind.
