Why Should I Get a Funeral Plan?
Protect Your Family
By planning in advance you protect your family from rising funeral costs & financial pressure by locking in today's rates. According to the Sun Life Cost Of Dying Report 2024 the average UK family has to find £2,716 in additional money to cover funeral costs, 45% use savings, 25% use a credit card, 25% borrow from friends/family*. You are protecting them from this.
Avoid paying more in the future
Recent research from the Sunlife Cost of Dying Report 2024 predicts that costs will continue to increase. A direct cremation plan locks the price in at today’s rates rather than run the risk of paying possibly higher prices in the future. Everything is already organised relieving huge pressure financially & emotionally on your family.
Everything is arranged
By taking care of your arrangements in advance, you’ll be assured that your wishes are understood and respected, no matter what they are. All paper work taken care of & relieving pressure from family

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll all need a funeral one day and with costs expected to rise every year, it makes sense to plan your funeral while you can and fix the cost by paying for it now.
If paying by lump sum or 12 monthly instalments, the money you’ve paid for your funeral is held securely in an independently managed Golden Leaves Trust. Investment managers are tasked to manage the long-term growth of the fund, specifically to meet the increasing cost of funeral services.
Yes, of course. But your rights depend on how you pay for your plan. You have a right to cancel any plan (however you pay for it) within 30 days, or within seven days of being told who your allocated funeral director is if this is later than 30 days. If you do this, you will get all your money back.
If you pay for your plan in a single lump sum or you finance this via Funeral Safe, you can still cancel after this time and get your money back, but we will keep a £299 charge for administration.
If you pay for your plan in instalments over 12 months or by taking out an insurance policy and making fixed monthly payments, you can cancel any time within 12 months of taking out your plan and get all your money back. If you cancel after the first 12 months, you can still cancel.
If you paid in 12 instalments, we will pay these back, but we will keep a £299 charge for administration.
So long as you are 18 or over, there are no age limits to acceptance for your plan. If you pay for your plan with a finance agreement with Funeral Safe Limited, this is subject to status and affordability check so it’s not guaranteed that they will accept your finance application. You must repay your finance before your 85th birthday so this may limit the term over which Funeral Safe Limited will allow you to make repayments. If you’ve been told by a doctor of a condition or illness that will cause death within 12 months of applying for a plan then you can still take out a plan but you will only be able to pay with a single, lump sum payment: other payment options will not be available to you.
Yes, you can take out a funeral plan for anyone else. All correspondence will be sent directly to the person arranging the funeral plan and confidentiality is assured, unless you request otherwise.
Cost varies depending on age, payment type and plan type*
