The benefits

None of us like to think about the end of life, but by planning ahead, we can spare the people we love from difficult decisions at a painful time.

Tailored to your individual needs

We recognise that making funeral arrangements in advance of need involves making many important decisions. We believe you should have the opportunity to make those important decisions yourself and have the time to think carefully about what you and your family want.

No hidden costs

A pre-paid, bespoke funeral plan is fixed to provide the funeral services paid for with no hidden charges or conditions. Whether the funeral takes place in five or 50 years time, there will be nothing left to pay – subject to terms and conditions.

Flexible payment options

We offer an easy payment scheme to spread the cost over, 12, 18 or 24 months through monthly instalments, securing the cost for a fixed monthly payment.

Protection from rising funeral costs

Since 2004, average funeral costs have risen 121%*. Our bespoke, pre-paid funeral plans protects you from any rising costs from the moment your full payment or first monthly instalment is received. *SunLife Cost of Dying 2022 Report
