Why buy a funeral plan

Why should you consider a Dignity Funeral Plan?

Planning and paying towards a funeral in advance with a Guaranteed Funeral Plan from Dignity offers you many different benefits.

Financial peace of mind

  • Freeze costs at today’s prices.
  • You will have paid in full for the cremation funeral services covered in the plan, with your family only paying for flowers and other special requests at the time.
  • It removes potential worry about how your funeral will be paid for, especially when savings are often needed to fund retirement.
  • The money paid into each Plan is invested and managed by some of the most respected financial organisations in the country.
  • Buying a funeral plan may help reduce the amount of inheritance tax that may be payable on your estate.
  • As an added reassurance, you have a full 28 days to change your mind. You can then get a refund of all the money you have paid. However, a cancellation fee is charged if you cancel after 28 days.
  • Once it's paid for, it's paid for.
