Frequently asked questions
We want to make choosing your funeral plan as simple as possible, so we’ve answered the questions we’re most frequently asked below. If you have a query that we haven’t answered here, don’t worry. Just contact a member of our friendly, knowledgeable funeral planning team and we will be happy to help.
Will a funeral plan cover costs if I die abroad? Our funeral plans do not cover funerals that take place aboard or the cost of repatriation. If you plan to go abroad, you should ensure that your travel or medical insurance policy includes full cover for repatriation costs. Our friendly Funeral & Memorial Consultants can help support you and organise the repatriation if required. What if I die away from home within Great Britain and Northern Ireland? Included in our funeral plans is the collection and transfer of the deceased to a resting place to a specified maximum mile radius. If you need to be transported further than that specified, extra charges will apply. How will the person arranging my funeral know what to do when the time comes? We recommend that every plan holder nominates a representative at time of purchase. It is important to let your nominated representative and/or executor know that you have arranged a funeral plan and where the funeral plan certificate can be found. At time of need, they must contact your nominated funeral home who will organise the funeral arrangements specified in the funeral plan.
