ADVERTISING PROMOTION
Once you’ve plucked up the courage to consider your funeral plans, thinking about what type of service you’d like and what the likely funeral costs will usually be the next steps.
It’s difficult to know exactly how funeral prices may rise in the future. However, in the last 8-10 years, they’ve risen significantly in the UK.
One of the best ways to protect against future funeral cost rises is by looking at pre-paid funeral plans either for yourself or you and your partner.
So how do you choose a pre paid funeral plan provider?
Go with a name you know and trust
You won’t be around to see your funeral, but for those left behind it will be a significant day in their lives. As with most things in life, it pays to do some research into pre-paid funeral plans and providers.
If a company approaches you about taking out a plan and you’ve never heard of them before, you should think twice. Peace of mind is important when it comes to funeral plans, so it makes sense to choose a company you’ve heard good things about.
Choose a provider with national coverage
One of the interesting things about life is that circumstances can change quickly. You may be settled in one location now, but you never know what’s around the corner. For example, you may meet someone new and relocate, or move to be closer to your grandchildren in the future.
If you’ve taken out a pre paid funeral plan with a national provider, it shouldn’t be a problem to have your wishes carried out wherever you are in the UK.
Don’t be pressured into making a decision
When you’re speaking to a provider of pre-paid funeral plans, don’t let them harass you or put you under any pressure to make an instant decision. If you feel they are using the hard sell a bit too much, don’t be afraid to walk away and look elsewhere.
Prepare a list of questions before you go
A good way to gauge a potential provider of your pre-paid funeral plan is to ask them as many questions as you can think of. If they’re able to answer them all quickly and to your satisfaction, that will give you an insight into how professional they are.
