Third party costs
This plan guarantees that all the services detailed within your plan will be fully covered, so you can feel reassured that, when the time comes, your family won’t have to face difficult decisions or unexpected costs.
We’ll tell your loved one when the cremation is taking place
This allows your loved ones the flexibility and time to focus on grieving, supporting each other and celebrating your life in their own way. Your loved ones will be informed of when the cremation will be, giving them the chance to reflect and mark the moment in a way that feels right.
Our plans are flexible
When the time comes, if your loved ones wish to make any additional arrangements, your Golden Charter funeral director will be on hand to provide trusted guidance and expertise.
