It takes a special person to be a funeral director. Their role is to help families say goodbye in a way that feels right, while offering care and support at one of the hardest times in life.

But how do you choose a funeral director?

How to choose a funeral director

Golden Charter works with the UK’s largest network of independent funeral directors: over 2,900 across the country.^*. Many of these are family-run businesses that have been part of their communities for generations. This means you have a wide choice when deciding who you would like to look after your arrangements.

When you take out a funeral plan with Golden Charter, we do our best to make sure your chosen funeral director can accept your plan. If this isn’t possible, we’ll appoint another trusted funeral director near you. We believe it’s important that your wishes are respected and that your family receives personal care when it matters most.

The funeral directors we work with bring years of experience and knowledge. They provide care, guidance and compassion to the families in their communities every day.

That’s why, when the time comes, many people turn to their local independent funeral director for support. You can find funeral directors near you using our website: Funeral directors near me.
