Pre-Arranging.

Some people prefer independence and peace of mind of considering things in advance, to look at the options available and deciding for themselves how they would like their funeral arranged when the eventual need arises.

If you would like to discuss any aspects of your funeral arrangements, please contact us and we can go through all the options available for your wishes. 

Pre-Payment.

We offer the “Independent Way” funeral plan by Golden Charter who are one of the UK’s leading and independent funeral plan provider.

We are proud to offer Golden Charter funeral plans. A pre-paid funeral plan is a safe, affordable way to plan for the future. Over half a million people have already trusted Golden Charter to take care of their funeral arrangements.

We’ll take the time to understand your wishes and provide you with a plan that’s uniquely yours whilst relieving your loved ones of the burden of expense.

Please contact us if you wish to discuss pre-arranging your funeral and we will be happy to help and advise you on any questions you may have.

A funeral plan is an easy way to arrange the funeral you want in advance. A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service. 

The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.
