99% of families don’t know their loved ones funeral wishes* Does your family know yours?

et's face it, none of us really want to talk about funerals – much less arrange their own. But by doing so, you could save your loved ones a lot of money and worry.

It's worrying that 99% of people admit they don't know their loves ones funeral wishes*. And that family and friends end up having to contribute an average £2,449 to the cost of funerals – half have to borrow to find that level of cash*.

But if you plan ahead and share your wishes it could make things a lot less stressful when the time comes. The average cost of a funeral is set to rise to more than £6,100 by 2023^. That’s an increase of more than £2,300 in just six years which is an awful lot of money to find.

You have the chance to do something about this with a Prepaid Funeral Plan from Dignity. You can beat rising costs by paying for your funeral at today’s price. The plan fixes the cost of the funeral services in it, regardless of how far in the future they are needed. So no matter now much these costs rise, once paid, you know the funeral services included in the plan will be covered. For burial funerals, the funeral director services in the plan are still guaranteed plus a contribution of £1,200 to third party costs such as Minister’s fees. This contribution is one of the largest available on the market and rises in line with RPI. Plus as an Express reader, you’ll get £150 off the plan prices if you buy before 31st March 2017.

You can opt whether or not you want to pay a deposit and pay the remaining balance over 1, 5 or even 10 years, paying as little as £1.25 per day**.

You just have to be over the age of 50. There are no medical questions to answer and no upper age limit – anyone can do it.
