We recommend Golden Charter Funeral Plans
Golden Charter funeral plans are the leading funeral planning network for independent funeral directors in this country.

-
Ensuring that our families don't have any extra burdens at a difficult time is important to all of us.
-
With our help you can plan in advance with a Funeral Plan so everything is taken care of and your wishes are followed.
The Advantages of Taking Out a Funeral Plan
A funeral plan allows you peace of mind to know you are minimising the decisions that your family and friends are found with at an emotional time – and your specific wishes are carried out.
Organise and pay in advance
Making funeral arrangements in advance of your own death has become increasingly popular. Many people choose this option to alleviate the burden and distress at such an emotional time.
Personalise Your Plan
You can spread payments over a number of instalments or payments can be made in one instalment.
Funeral Plan Costs
We will explain the various fees and charges involved. Funeral arrangements are a matter of personal wishes and choice therefore the best way to obtain an estimate is by discussion with your Funeral Director. We will not rush you into making decisions.
