At White Rose Modern Funerals we do not currently offer any pre-paid funeral plans. This is because we have not been able to find a provider of funeral plans that we feel able to recommend to our families.
Although the funeral plan market has benefited from more stringent regulation, the fact remains that every funeral plan has management fees and certain restrictions, which means that it is often a more flexible option to simply set aside money in a savings account towards funeral costs.
Many families are also unaware that when a person dies, their bank will normally pay a funeral invoice from that person’s account, even if the account is frozen or the probate process has yet to begin. Banks have a bereavement team who will help make these arrangements and this is often the simplest solution, meaning that funeral costs will be deducted from the value of the person’s total estate.
More importantly, we feel that leaving a guide to what type of funeral you would – and also wouldn’t – want is a more useful legacy to leave to those responsible for arranging your funeral at a future date. With that in mind, we have created a My Funeral Wishes document that you can complete to share your preferences with those left behind. To receive this document, please contact us and we will send it to you.
We are also happy to meet with you to explore your funeral wishes, guiding you on what is possible, and we can then keep your wishes on record if you wish.
If you have already taken out a pre-paid funeral plan and nominated White Rose Modern Funerals as your preferred funeral director, rest assured that it will honoured in full.
