The Direct Cremation Plan in detail

Here you'll find helpful information about what's included in our plans, additional costs to consider, and how to request our free funeral plan brochure.

Here's what's included in your plan:

  • Fully guaranteed to cover cremation costs

  • All arrangements taken care of by the funeral director, including the date, time and location of the cremation 

  • All preparation and care prior to cremation 

  • Collection and transportation to the funeral director’s premises within 25 miles and during working hours 

  • Removal of pacemakers (if applicable) 

  • A simple coffin suitable for cremation 

  • 24-hour funeral director telephone support for loved ones 

  • Ashes kept in the care of the funeral director prior to return, or they can be scattered in the garden of remembrance 

  • Next of kin will be informed when the cremation will take place, so they can choose to have a quiet moment of reflection or commemoration

Here's what's not included in your plan:

  • As this is a direct, unattended cremation, there is no funeral service to attend

  • Family visiting at the funeral home

Payment options

We offer three different ways to pay for your Golden Charter funeral plan. You can choose to pay by single payment, spread the cost with our 12 monthly payment option or pay over two to 10 years with our instalment payment option*.

Single payment option

You can make a one-off single payment of £1,950 for immediate cover.

TOTAL COST TO PAY

£1,950

12 monthly payment option (no extra cost)

If you would prefer to spread the cost, you can pay a deposit from as little as £49, then 12 monthly payments of £158.42 at no extra charge. You will be covered once all payments are made.

TOTAL COST TO PAY

£1,950

Instalment payment option

For a lower monthly payment, you can pay a deposit from as little as £49, then spread the cost of your plan between two and 10 years. An instalment charge is included based on the term you select and is included in the overall cost of your funeral plan.

This option includes the added benefit of our Golden Charter Pledge, which ensures that if you die at any time after you have made 12 payments, the benefit of your plan will be provided, with no further sums to be paid.
