In 2004, the average funeral cost was £1,920, today it costs £4,271 3.

Whilst no one can predict the future, if the current trend continues, in another 10 years, the average cost of a funeral could be more than £7,500 4.

The benefits of planning ahead!

We all love doing something special for our family. This could be as simple of covering the cost of your funeral in advance.

When coming to terms with the death of a loved one, arranging a funeral can be a stressful experience. One way to help to ease the financial and emotional strain on your loved ones is by fixing the cost of your funeral director’s services included in your plan in advance with a pre-paid funeral plan. This means that, once paid in full6, when the time comes the cost of the funeral director’s services included in your plan has already been covered, meaning your loved ones have one less thing to worry about.  

With the average cost of a funeral rising 4.7% in the last year3, it makes sense to plan ahead. Only 15 years ago you would have paid £1,920 for an average funeral, yet today it is £4,271 - an increase of 122% 3. With funeral cost outstripping inflation 2 there’s no guarantee that, when the time comes, your bank or building society account will cover the cost of your funeral. Over 50s insurance policies usually pay out a fixed sum but don’t guarantee to cover funeral director’s costs in the future. With either of these options, your family may still need to make up the shortfall for the funeral directors services.

With a pre-paid funeral plan, you can freeze the cost of your funeral director's services included in your plan at today’s prices, make your wishes clear and detail what you would like your service to include, whether that is giving roles to friends and family or outlining any dress code. Your Funeral Matters works in partnership with Golden Charter to offer you a range of flexible, affordable plans, including plans for direct cremation.
