We are a complete funeral service provider
Unlike most funeral plan providers, we both plan and carry out your funeral, meaning you can be sure every detail in your plan will be as you wanted. You can also be confident a Co-op funeral director will conduct your funeral, with all the care and high standards you expect from us. Other plan providers might ask you to nominate an independent funeral director, but they can’t guarantee they’ll be the ones carrying out the funeral.
Our Silver and Gold Funeral Plans have both received a 5 Star Rating from Fairer Finance.
For the third year running, our Gold Funeral Plan has been given a 5 Star Rating by Defaqto.
Moneynet has recognised us as being the Best Funeral Plan Provider for the last 3 years.

*Price of £20.85 per month is based on a 50-year-old purchasing a Simple Funeral Plan at £3,295 over 25 years (total amount repayable £6,255.65). Our low-cost monthly payments give you a range of payment options, providing greater flexibility. With a choice of terms over 2 - 25 years you can spread the cost of paying for your funeral plan. A charge is included in the plan cost if you choose to pay over 2-25 years. A maximum age limit applies to the Plan Purchaser. This option is available to anyone as long as the plan is paid for in full before the Plan Purchaser's 80th birthday.
** As prices and availability vary across the UK, none of our burial plans include the cost of buying a grave.
^The Co-op Commitment applies if you are paying monthly over 2-25 years and 1 year has passed since the start date. All payments must be paid up to date and your funeral must be carried out by one of our Funeral Directors. See our terms and conditions.
A membership that makes a difference
Co-op Members benefit from exclusive member prices when buying a funeral plan with us. Plus, we’ll give £2 for every hundred pounds spent to community causes.
Our Nation in Mourning report looks at the effect the national lockdown has had on funerals and how it affected our ability to grieve our loved ones. The report found that 81% of respondents hadn’t saved anything towards their funeral, meaning 4 out of 5 people don't have a financial plan for their future funeral costs.
You can buy a pre-paid funeral plan online, or give our funeral planning team a call on 0800 088 4883.
You can choose to pay either in full, in monthly payments over 6 or 12 months, or monthly payments over 2-25 years.
If you’re paying over 6-12 months, there are no additional charges. However, when paying over 2-25 years, there are additional charges. Use our online calculator to find out how much a fixed funeral plan will cost and what the charges will be.
All our plans include funeral director fees and services as well as third party charges.
Our 4 fixed plans (Simple, Bronze, Silver, Gold) have a combination of services, so you can choose which is right for you.
Alternatively, you can choose a tailor-made plan. This is where you decide exactly what you’d like to be included.
Whichever plan you buy, we’ll send you a plan summary in the post within 10 working days that confirms everything that’s included.
Our plans are available to anyone over the age of 18, and we don’t ask any medical or health related questions. If you’re paying monthly over 2-25 years, all payments must be completed by your 80th birthday.
Someone else can pay for your plan but you’re still responsible for making sure payments are made. You’ll own and control your plan and will receive the documents relating to it. If the person paying for your plan is paying monthly over 2-25 years, that person must be 18 years of age or over. All payments must be completed by their 80th birthday.
