Compare Funeral Plans

Thinking about your own funeral may not be the most tantalising of thoughts, but with prices of funerals rising by a whopping 5% every year, it’s hard not to fear the bank-breaking bill that your family may be faced with.

That’s why it’s important that you choose the right funeral plan now in order to save your family a hefty bill. Here are a few tips on how to do exactly that: 

Only choose funeral plan providers who are regulated by the FPA (Funeral Planning Authority).

Choosing an unregulated one may seem like the easiest way to get your hands on the cheapest plan out there, but it may actually trick you into paying a contribution to all the 3rd party costs rather than covering the entire funeral and wake.

The sooner you buy your plan, the more you’ll save.

The cost of funerals has gone from £1,900 in 2004 to £4,000+ in 2017, and it’s very likely to go even higher in the upcoming years. If you want to savvy saver, then it’s best to buy your plan (often called a Funeral Insurance) this year before it becomes even more expensive.

While most plans are only available to those older than 50 years of age, plans offered by the Co-op can be purchased by those as young as 18 years old.
