Why prepaying your funeral makes financial sense

Funeral costs are expected to rise 20% by 2025.  But when you prepay, you fix the cost at today's prices.


PAY ON THE DAY

UK funeral price increase by 2025

PREPAY WITH A FUNERAL PLAN

Average cost of cremation and burial Traditional funeral plan - September 2021

*  Price example includes:  Funeral director's professional fees, motor hearse, viewing, one family car, funeral director's lowest cost or a funeral plan's standard coffin, including third-party cremation or burial fees.   Average prepaid funeral plan price as listed on Before You Go.  [2]   Prices correct as of 01.12.22.

 

And that's the surprising fact about funeral plans

“[Prepaid funeral plans] are often sold at a lower price than at-need funerals”.

What people say about us

"Extremely satisfied"

"

"Not only did Before You Go save me money by comparing the funeral plan I wanted, but the funeral plan I eventually purchased for my mother  saved me £600+ on the funeral director's today prices!  On top of both of those savings I'm expecting to save more by not having to pay the price rises in the meantime. What's not to like?"

Angela Rogers - Wolverhampton

What people say about us

"A really friendly and helpful service"

"

" A really friendly service with lots of great information.  I used their comparison first and then spoke with Andrew, who was very helpful.  He made sure I understood everything.  There was no hard sell and I’m really pleased with the plans I chose for myself and my husband . I would have no hesitation in recommending Before You Go to any of my family and friends wanting to plan their funeral."
