What Is An Advanced Funeral Arrangement
An Advance Funeral Arrangement Plan is a simple and practical way to help the people you love, and have left behind, to lessen their levels of anxiety, stress and financial worry at a very emotional time.
It also spares you worry because, like making your will, advanced funeral planning allows you to get on with your life knowing that, whatever happens, your wishes will be carried out by us.
Funeral pre-planning is not something you do or think about every day and you may feel a little nervous even discussing it. However, it is easier than you might imagine.
We can meet with you at a time that suits you in one of our offices, to discuss all the options that are available to you, always be mindful that it is your Plan, and your decisions. Planning your own funeral ensures that all the small things that are important to you are included, precisely to your wishes.
Your Funeral Plan
Once you have determined what you require, your next steps should be:
- You should advise your next-of-kin, executor and/or solicitor that you have made advanced funeral plans with us, providing our contact details
- You may lodge funds into an interest-bearing deposit account at your chosen financial institution, advising the Manager that it is for the sole purpose of paying for your funeral expenses
- You may wish to contact us once a year to check if any price increases require any additional amount needs to be lodged to your ‘funeral account’
Your Plan is an expression of your wishes. If at any time in the future you are unhappy about any detail of your Plan, we will be happy to make any changes for you, however small. You are also free to cancel your Plan at any time.
We are happy to answer any queries you may have.
