We have three different funeral plans to give you the choice in what is suitable for your requirements.

They all provide you with the flexibility to add your unique personal wishes. Plus, you don’t have to decide everything now, you will be able to update your plan later. If you move home, your plan moves with you.

Flexible payment options

You can pay for the funeral plan in full by credit or debit card, bank transfer or cheque, or by monthly instalments over one to ten years. The cost of paying for the funeral plan over a 12 month term costs the same as it would paying in full. If paying over 12 months up to the maximum of 120 months, prices vary by age of the Covered Individual and there is an additional charge, which means you pay more than if you pay in full upfront. See our illustration of a monthly instalment plan.

Please note:

  • Full payment for the funeral plan must be made before the Covered Individual reaches the age of 85
  • If the Covered Individual passes away within 12 months from the date of Activation, the funeral plan cannot be Redeemed unless the outstanding payments are made. If the Covered Individual passes away after 12 months, then no further payments will be required for the Funeral Director Services, and depending upon the amount of Voluntary Contributions made for Choice Essentials and Choice Plus Plans, additional payments may be needed for Third Party Fees and Additional Products & Services.
  • For Choice Essential and Choice Plus Plans, when you pay by instalments, you cannot make any financial amendments until the plan is fully paid. If paying by instalment, switching is only possible once the plan is fully paid. If you want to switch before your plan is fully paid, a cancellation fee may apply.
  • For joint plans, instalments must be paid within 12 months.

Our funeral homes

We offer our prepaid plans through the Funeral Partners network of Funeral Directors, which includes more than 240 local funeral homes. All our funeral homes work to a high standard of service and are committed to providing compassionate care to every family.

Funeral Partners homes provide comprehensive funeral planning services, and will assist at every stage of the funeral planning process. Your Funeral Director will be by your family’s side from their first contact, guiding and supporting them. Your family will also have access to bereavement support.

Your friends and family may choose to add services not included in your plan, such as memorial masonry, a tributes page, or keepsakes. Any of our Funeral Directors would be happy to support with these requests.

The right time

According to the SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024, the total average cost of a basic funeral, professional fees and send off in 2023 was £9,658, 5% more than 2022. This total is the highest figure ever. Increases in both the send-off and professional fees mean we’re now paying an average of £458 more than we were in the previous year.

The good news is that the cost of our Funeral Director Services in all of our funeral plans are fixed at today’s prices, so you can rest assured these services have been taken care of.
