If you are browsing online to compare options, don’t hesitate to contact the funeral plan providers direct to talk through the options. Don’t feel embarrassed to shop around. Most of us will compare the price of tea and coffee before we buy. It’s only sensible to compare costs for a funeral: something that matters this much and can cost thousands of pounds.

See 3 funeral plans to find one that suits you best.

We’ve partnered with Open Prepaid to match plans to the sort of desires and needs we understand Final Flingers want. Nothing crazy. Just choices that can be simple, meaningful, appropriate, traditional, beautiful. Each plan affords professional help where you need it. And each offers you the ability to choose and add elements.

Traditional funeral plans usually differentiate between one level and another in cost on the basis of these things:

Plan provider	Plan	Cost	View the body	Coffin quality	Distance for collection of body	Cars
Company A	Standard	£3,500	no	basic	15 miles	hearse
Company A	Select	£4,000	9-5	better	20 miles	hearse + limo
Company A	Premier	£4,500	flexible	best	50 miles	hearse + 2 limos

Remember
A funeral plan usually only covers some of the costs – like a coffin and hearse, making arrangements and caring for the body. The funeral director usually pays others’ fees on your behalf that you will have to pay back: doctors’ fees for cremation authorisation, gravediggers, minister or Humanist/celebrant for the funeral service. Plans sometimes but not always include a contribution to these fees called ‘disbursements‘.
