Arranging and paying for a funeral in advance

Many people wish to provide for their funeral expenses and a funeral prepayment plan is a caring, sensible and cost-effective way to do so.

The advantage of a prepayment plan over a savings account or life insurance policy is that you can pay now, at to-day's prices and beat inflation - no matter when the service might be required. The Funeral Director's fees will be paid by the Funeral Planning Trust at the time of the funeral.

Funeral repayment plans are administered by Funeral Planning Services Limited in association with Funeral Directors throughout the U K Funeral repayments are held in Funeral Planning Trust with HSBC Trust Company (UK) Limited as Custodian Trustee.
