What Is a Prepaid Funeral Plan? – A Simple UK Guide
A prepaid funeral plan is a way to arrange and pay for your funeral in advance. It protects your family from the financial and emotional pressure of organising everything themselves and ensures your wishes are known and respected.
How a Prepaid Funeral Plan Works
A funeral plan allows you to:
- Fix the cost of your funeral at today’s prices
- Choose your preferred funeral director
- Set out your wishes clearly
- Remove difficult decisions from your family
Your money is held securely by the plan provider and used to cover the funeral when it is needed.
Key Benefits
