Funeral Pre-Planning

Planning your own funeral in advance is one of the most thoughtful decisions you can make for your family. At Dignity Funeral Care, we offer a clear, respectful process that allows you to make your wishes known and ensure costs are covered, bringing you true peace of mind.

Our experienced staff will meet with you in confidence, either in your home, at one of our funeral homes, or by phone, whichever suits you best. Together, we’ll outline the type of service you’d like, from burial or cremation preferences to details such as transport, music, announcements, and flowers.

Once your preferences are recorded, you’ll receive a proposal based on today’s pricing. You can then choose one of two payment options:

You may lodge the full amount into an interest-bearing Deposit Account with your preferred bank, building society or post office. The purpose of the account should be clearly stated: for funeral expenses. When the time comes, we will carry out your plan and invoice your financial institution directly.

To keep the plan in line with inflation, we recommend checking in annually to see if prices have changed. A small top-up to your account may be advised each year.

You may also choose to prepay the full funeral cost now. In this case, Dignity Funeral Care will enter into a contract with you and assume the risk of future price increases. This ensures that your agreed services will be delivered at no additional cost to your estate or family.
