*Price of £25.64 per month is based on a 50-year-old purchasing a Silver Funeral Plan at £4,150 over 25 years (total amount repayable £7,791.17), monthly payments for other plans will be different. You can choose to spread the cost of paying for your plan over 2-25 years. A minimum of £99 deposit is required to be paid when buying a plan on monthly instalments, this will be taken off the plan price. 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.
