*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 instalments 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. An Instalment 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.
**If paying for someone else it is only the person that the plan is for that can change their plan and not the payer, as the agreement is between Co-op Funeralcare and the plan holder. See our FAQs and terms and conditions for further information.
