FUNERAL PLAN

additional information

There are some things that are not included in the cost of our funeral plans that can be added when the funeral plan is redeemed or when the plan is taken out. These include:

    • Embalming
    • Flowers
    • Orders of service
    • Newspaper notices
    • Alternative hearses
    • Extra limousines or executive cars

Substantiations

* The pay monthly price is based on a 50 year old paying by the instalment payment option with a £49 deposit over 15 years. An instalment charge is included based on the term you select and is included in the overall cost of your funeral plan.

*** Paid to Golden Charter to cover the cost of setting up, managing and administering your funeral plan.

Third party allowance

These costs are for essential, non-funeral director services required to carry out a cremation, which need to be paid at the time of the funeral. These costs are outside the control of your funeral director, but a contribution is included towards them in your plan.

Examples of third party costs that may be covered by the allowance included in your plan are doctor’s fees (if applicable), cremation or interment fees, and the minister or officiant’s fee to conduct the service. Please check what’s included with your chosen plan using the table above.

If the amount included in your plan for third party costs doesn’t fully cover these, then the additional sum will need to be paid at the time of your funeral by your family or estate.
