Cranfield Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Like many others my wife and I have paid for funeral plans with the Co-op. Its a sensible idea, as costs are rising all the time. I don't want our children to have the financial burden of the funeral cots, if they want to have a cup of tea and cake afterward, thats up to them.🙂 Choosing an organisation like the Co-op give me some confidence. There are many around offering similar services, but not all have the Co-op's excellent reputation. I have heard stories of supplements having to be paid and other similar problems when the time comes to settle up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 The Competitions and Markets Authority are investigating funeral prices. I wouldn’t be surprised if prices stabilise or fall going forward. I don’t know why people just don’t put a lump sum in an ISA rather than paying in advance.

phaedra1106 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Friend of mine died last year, we used a cremation only service with the ashes delivered to the person of their choice. With all the fee's etc. it was £1150. Try a Google search for basic funeral. https://www.simplicity.co.uk https://www.low-cost-funeral.co.uk/basic-funerals/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think there's more important things to be worried about like enjoying life while we're here, than the cost of a funeral after we're not,each to their own though.

ordnance Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I don't get the funeral plans, rather than give them your money just save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
