Plan ahead with a Choice Funeral Plan from just £1,795
We understand the emotional and financial impact of arranging a funeral, which is why a prepaid Funeral Plan could provide peace of mind for you and your family.
Choice Funeral Plans enable you to plan ahead by recording your personal wishes and paying for Funeral Director Services in advance, which could help your family with the risk of these costs going up or down in the future.
We offer three types of funeral plans, each created to meet different individual circumstances and requirements:
Unattended Cremation Plan
£1,795
Equivalent price if this funeral product was purchased today*: £1,785
Simple, dignified, low-cost direct cremation
This plan is suitable for those looking for a simple and low-cost cremation without the formalities of a traditional funeral service. It covers the essential elements for a cremation to take place including our professional unattended Funeral Director Services, cremation fees and doctor’s fees (if required).
There will be no service for friends, family or other mourners to attend, nor will you be able to specify the crematorium, date or time of when the cremation will take place.

About Voluntary Contributions
Our Choice Essentials & Choice Plus Plans provide the flexibility to personalise and upgrade elements of a funeral and allow Voluntary Contributions to be made towards Additional Products & Services and Third Party Fees, if desired.
Certain Third Party Fees must be paid in order for the funeral to take place in addition to the funeral plan cost. Third Party Fees, such as cremation and burial fees, are costs we pay to someone else and are not included in the Choice Essentials & Choice Plus plans. This is because these fees vary in price depending on factors, such as what type of funeral you choose, your preference of a crematorium or burial site and if a doctor’s certificate would be required.
Depending upon the amount of Voluntary Contributions you make, this amount may or may not be sufficient to pay for Third Party Fees and Additional Products & Services. Additional costs may need to be paid for when the Funeral Plan is Redeemed. Prices will be charged at the prevailing rate at the time of Redemption.
