Plan ahead

Thinking ahead about funerals can feel daunting but it doesn’t have to be. Taking a little time now can make a big difference later, whether you’re preparing for yourself or helping a loved one. It ensures everyone knows what to expect and allows your family to focus on remembering and celebrating your life.

Why it helps to plan ahead

Clarity for your family

They’ll know your wishes and feel confident following them, relieving potential stress

Peace of mind

You’re in control of arrangements with guidance from our dedicated team

Financial reassurance

Make financial provision to reduce worry

Personal choices

Your funeral reflects your personality and values, supported by our professional guidance

Reduce the financial burden for loved ones

If you’d like to make provision for the financial side too, our pre-paid funeral plans in association with Ecclesiastical Planning Services let you see what’s included, compare options, and even arrange payment online.

  • Financial planning: Lock in our direct costs and make a contribution towards third party costs
  • Flexible payment: Pay in full or spread the cost with monthly instalments – eligibility criteria apply.
  • Peace of mind: Reduce the financial burden on your loved ones

Record your wishes

You don’t need a pre-paid plan to make things easier for your family. A pre-arranged funeral ensures your wishes are known and gives your loved ones peace of mind when the time comes.

  • Record your wishes: Document your preferences for burial or cremation, service type, and personal touches
  • No financial commitment: Plan now, pay later when the time comes
  • Professional guidance: Our team helps you think through all the options
