About our Pre-Paid Funeral Plans
Planning ahead for your funeral is one of the most thoughtful and caring things you can do. Some people never get round to discussing funeral wishes with their loved ones, which can lead to all sorts of worry and anxiety when the time comes.
- Taking out a funeral plan is a simple and straightforward way to remove this worry, and it can provide real financial benefits too.

Some of the other benefits include:
Wishes
Pre-arrange the details of your funeral and record any special wishes, such as hymns, music choices and any other personal touches you would like your plan to include
Financial Provison
Make financial provision for your funeral
Funeral Director
Choose your funeral director in advance
Family
Ensure your family has access to expert help at what can be a difficult time
Our funeral plan is available to UK residents and there are no complicated medical forms to complete. You can also appoint a nominated representative who we will keep informed about your plan, according to your
instructions.
Our plans cover your funeral costs (as specified in the plan paperwork) as long as we carry out the funeral and your requirements don’t change. We also offer plans that include a contribution towards third party costs, such as cremation and officiant’s fees. With these plans, there may be more to pay if these costs are not covered by the plan value. For more information, please download our funeral plans brochure and Terms and Conditions.
All funeral plan pre-payments are held in an individual whole of life assurance policy for your peace of mind.
Our funeral plans are provided by Ecclesiastical Planning Services Limited, which is part of a specialist, UK based financial services group.
You can choose to pay for your funeral plan by lump sum or in instalments. There is an additional cost for paying over two years or more and eligibility criteria applies. Please refer to the Instalment Q&A and the
Terms and Conditions for more information. Your funeral director will be able to provide you with a personalised quote.

Once your funeral plan is in place, you’ll receive a welcome booklet containing the details of your plan and your funeral plan certificate. Your nominated representative will also receive a copy if you request this.
Terms and Conditions apply to funeral plans – please ask us if you have any questions.
