Funeral plan or funeral wishes?

You’ve looked after your own money all your life. You can write down the funeral you’d like and keep your savings in your own account.

Keep your savings in your own hands

You choose how much to put aside. If you need the money for a new boiler or to help someone in the family, you can use it. You can change your funeral wishes or your choice of funeral director too.

The cost will depend on the prices when the funeral is arranged. Prices can rise, so it’s worth checking now and again that the amount you’ve saved will cover what you have in mind.

Pay ahead with a funeral plan

You pay a provider in advance for the services in your agreement. Ask which costs are covered in full, which have a fixed contribution and what your family might still need to pay.

Before you sign, check the total price, any cancellation charge and the provider’s permission to sell funeral plans. Eligible plans can have protection if an authorised provider fails.

How would my family pay the bill?

If you keep the savings in your own name, tell someone you trust which bank to contact. After a death, the bank may be able to pay the funeral director directly if there’s enough in the account. Ask its bereavement team what paperwork they need. MoneyHelper’s guide to paying for a funeral
