WHY PLAN NOW
Funeral arrangements
shouldn't be the last thing on your mind
Pre-planning
gives you the peace of mind
of knowing that the arrangements you particularly want, will be conducted
sensibly, in dignified respect to your wishes.
Pre-paying
now will save you, your
family or your estate a great deal of money. Bought now at today’s prices, the
Funeral Director’s cost are guaranteed no matter when it is needed or how much
the costs of a funeral have risen in the mean time.
Sharing the intimate details of your preferred funeral service 5, 10 or 15 years
ahead of its time can be quite a difficult concept to consider. If you write it
down, who will you entrust the paper to? If you tell your partner, sons or
daughters, how will they remember and plan your every wish in their time of
sadness? Only you can advise sensibly on such individual requirements – Burial
or Cremation? Church? Hymns? Music? Cars? Memorialisation? Or perhaps you have
an environmental requirement such as woodland burial for instance?
Bereaved relatives have grief and anger to contend with. Adding the
administrative burden of
arranging the funeral to their confused and emotional state may lead to mistakes
being made and unnecessary costs being incurred. Two cars are ordered when it
should have been three; or a service at the church might be overlooked
altogether.
Planning and paying for your funeral in advance saves your family the anguish
and grief of doing anything other than remembering you.
Why Pay Now?
The cost of funerals has historically
increased above the normal levels of inflation and this is a theme that is
predicted to continue. A funeral costing just £850 ten years ago, would cost
nearer £2,300 now. It is impossible to say what that cost might be in five or
ten more years time.
What is certain is, with a Willadvisors Funeral Plan in partnership with one of
the Largest pre-paid funeral plan businesses in the Uk, bought now at today’s
prices or paid for in convenient monthly instalments, the quality of the service
provided by the Funeral Director in respect of your planned wishes will not cost
your family one penny more – whenever it is ultimately needed.
There are some costs outside of the Funeral Director’s control, which they pay
on your behalf - these are known as Disbursements and include fees such as;
Doctors, Clergy, Crematoria, Cemeteries and Graveyards, Memorials and Newspaper
notices. Any rise in the cost of these Disbursements may necessitate a further
payment from you at the time of need, but Willadvisors Funeral Plan in
partnership with one of the Largest pre-paid funeral plan businesses in the Uk,
will guarantee any increase in the costs of Disbursements to the RPI (Retail
Price Index).
