Pre-planning is the thoughtful process of outlining funeral arrangements before they become necessary. This involves compiling essential family information and deciding on the specifics of the service, such as opting for cremation or burial and selecting the desired location. Collaborating with a Funeral Director, you can meticulously plan, organise, and document all your preferences. We guide you through this journey, offering advice and support, ensuring you’re well-informed about our products and services. Payment for arrangements can be made in advance, or your plans can be securely held on file at the funeral home to be implemented when needed, with invoicing to the family at that time.

The decision to pre-plan a funeral is driven by various personal motivations, yet a common thread is the wish to shield one’s family from the challenging task of arranging proceedings during a period of grief. Pre-planning offers a nearly stress-free experience, granting you the necessary time and information to make thoughtful decisions that align with your preferences and provide peace of mind for both you and your family.

For numerous individuals, funeral pre-planning seamlessly integrates with their estate planning endeavors, serving as an additional aspect they address while preparing for retirement and the subsequent phase of their lives.

Opting to pre-fund funeral arrangements is an additional layer of protection for families, allowing individuals to secure the costs of the arrangements at present rates. This proactive approach not only eases the financial burden on loved ones but also ensures that the arrangements reflect the individual’s preferences.

Our funeral plan providers offer flexibility in payment, allowing you to choose between a one-time lump sum or spreading the cost over 12 monthly instalments.

Moreover, if you already have a plan with other providers like Age UK, Golden Leaves, Golden Charter, Avalon or Dignity, you can nominate us as your preferred Funeral Director. We collaborate with these reputable providers ensuring you have the freedom to select the funeral home that aligns with your preferences.

Discussing end-of-life matters is never easy, but initiating these conversations in advance can spare you from navigating challenging discussions during emotionally charged moments.
