50+ Funeral Plans

We work with Golden Charter the UK’s largest independent funeral plan provider.

Over 60% of funerals in the UK are carried out by independent funeral directors, many of whom are family run businesses who have served their communities for generations. We believe this offers you a local, personal service that makes a difference.

Back in 2004, an average funeral cost around £1,920. However, recent research* shows the average cost of a funeral in the UK is now £4,078 – an increase of 112% – well above the general level of inflation over this period in time. If this trend continues, Golden Charter project the average cost of a funeral could be over £7,000 in ten years time.
