Flexible prepaid funeral plans, providing peace of mind.
Funeral plans save your loved ones from the stress of organising and paying for your funeral, and could save them thousands of pounds.
Why a funeral plan is the ultimate gift for your family
A funeral plan is one of the best gifts you can give your loved ones. Why? Because the cost of your funeral would otherwise come out of the estate you leave behind. So if you pay for your funeral today, your estate will be bigger - possibly a lot bigger, if prices rise as steeply as they have in recent years.

Direct Cremation Plan Overview
Not everyone wants, or can afford, a full funeral. That’s why we offer a direct cremation plan that covers the basics. The deceased is collected and transferred to the crematorium and the ashes returned to a loved one.
No funeral service is included.
The above monthly prices are representative based on a £250 deposit, paid over a 120 month period.
Wren Plan Overview
Our economy plan provides almost all the basics you’d expect from a funeral except for a disbursement allowance for third-party fees and following limousines to transport family and loved ones.
Third-party fees would need to be paid at the time of the funeral. Our Robin, Dove and Swan plans include a disbursement allowance.
The above monthly prices are representative based on a £250 deposit, paid over a 120 month period.
Robin Plan Overview
Robin includes all the funeral basics as well as a generous disbursement allowance of £1,100 towards third-party fees.
Following limousines for transporting family and friends are not included with this plan. If you need following limousines, check out our Dove and Swan plans.

The above monthly prices are representative based on a £250 deposit, paid over a 120 month period.
Funeral Plan costs are growing year upon year.
Funerals cost more than they used to - a lot more. Over the last decade, the price of funerals has risen by three times the rate of inflation.
The average cost of a cremation in the UK was £1,728 in 2004, it’s now £3,744, according to figures compiled by SunLife. Most funerals cost even more, once extras like flowers and funeral notices have been added. And with costs set to rise, the total cost could exceed £10,000 in 10 years’ time.
