How funeral costs have risen

It may surprise you to know that the average cost of a standard cremation funeral (including disbursements) in the UK is now £2,720 - that's a 57% increase in the past seven years.* And what's more, these costs do not include any special touches that your family may wish to add. For many people this is a large amount of money to find, especially at such a sensitive and difficult time. That's why planning your funeral can really make sense.

Choosing single payment Funeral Plan or Funeral Assist means that you will have put some essential funeral arrangements in place, including transportation of the deceased, support for the family, a dignified resting place and a cremation funeral service. This means your loved ones will have less to worry about when the time comes.
