Our funeral plans

As everyone has different needs when it comes to funeral planning, we make sure our plans are as flexible as possible. We have five plans to choose from, so whether you’d like a traditional cremation or burial service, or a no-fuss direct cremation with no service or attendees, you’ll be able to pick the plan that best suits your needs and budget.

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.

Payment options

When it comes to paying for your funeral plan we offer three different, flexible payment options, designed to cater for every budget.
1

Single payment option

With a one-off, single payment your funeral plan will be activated right away, giving you immediate cover for instant peace of mind.

2

12 monthly payment option (at no extra cost)

Pay a deposit from only £49, then make 12 monthly payments at no extra cost. You're fully covered once all payments are made.

3

Instalment payments

Pay a deposit from as little as £49, then spread the cost of your plan between 2 and 15 years (2 and 10 years for the Basic Plan)*. An instalment charge is included based on the term you select and is included in the overall cost of your funeral plan. If you die at any time after you’ve made at least 12 payments, the benefit of your plan will be provided, with no further sums to be paid.

*For the instalment payment option you must be aged under 78 at the start date of your plan and pay the total cost by your 80th birthday. Please refer to the Key Features and Terms and Conditions document for eligibility of each payment option.
