Funeral Plan
Why should I consider a Pre-paid Funeral Plan
- Stating your Funeral wishes and requests in your Will is not legally binding.
- Friends and family may not know what you would want. A Funeral Plan will guarantee your wishes are carried out.
- Money put aside for your Funeral may not be used for this, or there may not be enough.
- The price of a Funeral Plan is in line with the cost of a Funeral today and represents real value for money.
It is not an easy decision to make, simply because it is not always easy to think about planning your own Funeral. A lot of people avoid facing this issue altogether, but there are many reasons why a Pre-paid Funeral Plan could be right for you.
Here are some basic facts which may help you to make up your mind:
- Stating your Funeral wishes in your Will is NOT binding upon your Executors. Funerals often take place before the Will is read.
- Often, people just do not know what their Deceased relative or friend wanted.
- A Funeral Plan guarantees that your wishes will be carried out and that the Funeral Director’s services will be paid for at no extra cost to your family.
- Savings in a Bank or Building Society or Insurance is just a sum of money. Your Executors are NOT obliged to spend it on your Funeral and there may not be enough.
- At a time of sadness, you will have relieved your family of financial and emotional burdens.
- Those you leave behind will remember how thoughtful you have been.
- The price of a Funeral Plan is in line with the cost of a Funeral purchased today. Funeral costs, like everything else, will almost certainly continue to rise in the future.
- You can choose a Funeral to suit your requirements across a range of prices.
