The preeminent selling point of pre-paid funeral plans is that the price you are quoted when you arrange the funeral services you need is locked.

As previously mentioned, the main benefit of choosing to pre-arrange a funeral service is that you freeze the service cost at today's prices. This protects you and your family from the rising prices of funerals, ensuring that you are not surprised by a sudden increase in funeral service costs.
The flexibility and detail with which you can arrange your funeral service is also an obvious benefit, from selecting which local independent funeral directors you wish to employ to the funeral transport. Pre-paid funeral plans ensure that when the time comes, everything is prepared. This provides your family with peace of mind knowing exactly what to expect from their funeral service and how much it will cost.
The main thing to consider when deciding whether a pre-paid funeral plan is right for you is whether you have the financial opportunity. If you have the money for paying for a funeral through a pre-paid plan, this is probably a good option for you and your family. If you want to personally oversee and arrange your funeral, rather than leaving it to your loved ones once you are gone, then again, a pre-paid funeral plan would be a good option for you.
Given that funerals prices are continuously increasing, it is often the best choice to pre-pay for your funeral arrangements. For example, if you pay for your funeral today at £3,000, but you do not die for another 20 years, you will still only have to pay the initial £3,000, even if the price has risen to, say, £5,000. You should always check the guarantees that you are quoted when arranging a pre-paid funeral plan. This way, you will avoid any unforeseen or surprising future costs that your family will have to cover. If you have any questions before you decide to apply to funeral plans, please ask for details.
Most of the pre-paid funeral plan providers will allow you to choose between a cremation or a burial. The initial costs for these funeral services are mostly identical. Still, it would be best if you were wary of extra costs, such as headstones and burial plots, which are not included and can significantly bump the price. The majority of pre-paid funeral plans include:
- Care and transport of the body to the funeral directors
- Visiting the body in the chapel of rest
- A coffin and funeral transportation
Depending on the plan you select, some services may even include doctor's fees required for cremations outside of Scotland, minister's or celebrant's fees, limousines for mourners and complete crematorium fees.
There are several options to choose from when deciding how to pay for your pre-paid funeral plan. Many people choose to pay for their funeral service costs in one lump sum. If you have to money to do this, it is often the best option. Another option would be to pay in instalments over 12 months. However, with a 12-month plan, should you die while making these contributions towards your funeral plan, your family will be asked to fulfil the remaining balance.
