Pre-Paid Funeral Plans

More and more people throughout the UK are choosing to think ahead when it comes to arranging their own or a family members funeral. After all what could be more sensible than planning the inevitable. There are many different reasons why people choose to pre-arrange and pre-pay for funerals. Often it is because they are concerned about leaving their family with the worry of the financial burden and arranging a funeral at a time of deep distress.

Our Funeral Plans are provided for and regulated by Perfect Choice. The Perfect Choice Funeral Plan enables you to plan your funeral with peace of mind. It reduces the burden of funeral arrangements on your loved ones and gives them confidence that your wishes are being followed and respected.

What is a Pre-Paid Funeral Plan?

Pre-Paid Funeral Plans are principally a bond which can be paid either in full on the date of creation, or over easy monthly instalments. Upon your death, the Bond is paid to the Funeral Director, to cover your Funeral Costs.

Do I get to decide what my plan includes?

Yes, at Henley Funeral Directors, we pride ourselves on giving you the funeral you want.

Will the price I pay now, cover the cost of inflation of a future funeral?

Very often yes, but we cannot control Third Party Disbursements such as the Cemetery / Crematorium and Doctors Fees. Although these costs have historically risen with inflation which would then be covered by the growth of the Plan, there may come a time when this isn't the case. If at the time of your death, the Third Party Costs are higher than the value of the contribution, there will then be a shortfall in the Plan.

Although we are unable to absolutely guarantee that the Funeral Plan will cover Third Party Disbursements we can 100% guarantee that our Professionals Fees will be covered and no matter how long into the future it is until the Funeral Plan is executed, the applicable costs will be the costs at the time the Funeral Plan was created.
