Funeral costs – Pre-payment plans
Funeral costs have almost trebled over the last ten years. They are projected to treble again during the next ten. If you have a life expectancy of more than three (3) years it makes sense in our view to pay for your funeral in advance.
Pre-payment plans can be bought outright, or paid for by installment; basically, they ensure that you get what you want at today’s prices*.
It may bring peace of mind for you to know that it is all planned and settled, and it will undoubtedly be a relief to the family when the time comes to arrange and pay for your funeral.
Family Tree Funeral Company is not restricted to selling pre-packaged plans at nationally fixed prices: we are free to agree prices and plans with you in exactly the same way as we do for today’s funeral. Your instructions are held on file; you also hold a copy – and it can be revised and amended by you at any time.
*Your payment for the funeral is invested in an Independently Managed Trust*. This in turn guarantees cover for future increases in the funeral director's fees, whilst the amount paid towards "disbursements" (third party fees, e.g. doctors, clergy, crematoria, etc.) will rise in line with the Retail Price Index.
*Golden Leaves Funeral Plans are founder members of The National Association for Pre-paid Funeral Plans and are registered with the Funeral Planning Authority. The money you pay for your funeral plan is invested and managed by Merrill Lynch and Citigroup Quilter, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
*Somerset Willow coffin add £400
** Civil officiant, add £90
*** If your local churchyard is full, add £456 for use of the municipal cemetery
****An extra £1000 has been included for burial at a
woodland burial site, each of which has their own pricing structure;
the price may need to be adjusted, depending on your choice of site.
These plans are fully costed examples of each type of funeral until April 2011. If there are specific requirements you have that will change any particular aspect of the plan you prefer, please ask and we will include them in the plan that you choose.
Golden Leaves add a one off fee of £175 to cover the administration of each funeral plan. Please read this in conjunction with the Golden Leaves Funeral Plans colour brochure,
available from Family Tree, or
via the Golden Leaves Funeral Plans site.
"My family and I would like to thank you and your company for the way that you handled
the interment of my wife’s ashes on Monday last. It wasn’t a day that I had been
looking forward to, but after I felt at ease that it had finally been done. K and
I both agreed that your resume of E’s life and character was done with compassion
and sympathy, although you hadn’t met her; also the reading of the poem was perfect,
and seemed to reflect the spirit of the day. Our thanks again, and we hope to see
you on perhaps a happier occasion."
