Third party costs

This plan includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are costs for essential, non-funeral director services required to carry out a cremation or burial. Funeral directors cannot control these costs and these fees need to be paid at the time of the funeral. These costs are paid by us or by the selected funeral director to other suppliers or professionals to carry out funeral services.

The built-in allowance will not be used towards certain third party costs such as doctor’s fees (if applicable) or the purchase of the burial plot.

The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.

Please refer to our Key Features and Terms & Conditions (PDF) document for more information.

All of our funeral plans can also be paid over 12 months at no extra cost, or paid over a longer period with an additional instalment charge. For more information on what’s included and what’s not included with each of our funeral plans just click on the learn more links above for each plan.
