Thinking about the future.

Pre-Planned Funerals

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.

Why plan ahead?

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

Pre-Paid Funerals

Pre-paying now could save you, your family or your estate a great deal of money. Bought now at today’s prices, funeral directors costs are guaranteed no matter when they are needed or how much the costs of a funeral have risen in the mean time.

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. It is impossible to say what that cost might be in five or ten more years time.

What is certain is, with a Golden Leaves Funeral Plan, bought now at today’s prices, 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.

With a funeral plan from Golden Leaves, you can secure the funeral director’s fees at today’s prices: in other words, there’s no more to pay for the funeral directors’ fees that are itemised within your funeral plan.

Golden Leaves’ funeral plans also include an allowance towards the cost of third-party fees like cremation or burial fees or the fee for the officiant at the funeral. Alternatively, you can opt for the Golden Leaves Third Party Fee guarantee. For an additional payment, you can secure the cost of third-party fees so that these are locked into the price of your plan.
