Too busy to die?

Most of us realise it makes sense and feels good to be organised but we’re often just caught up in the day to day. Treat yourself – or another you’d like to help – to our printed guide – Too Busy to Die – 7 Steps to planning for the end.
It’ll help you see the whole picture and take it one step at a time to get on top of all this.

Planning ahead – funeral plans

A good starting point is to set up a funeral plan… get some peace of mind and save others the burden of planning at a vulnerable time.

We’ve teamed up with Open Pre-paid Funeral Plans to offer 3 flexible funeral plans – designed to offer you choice. It’s simple to sign up and check this off your list.

See information about funerals to help you understand choices:

• traditional funerals
• funeral ideas
• alternative options

You’ll realise there are very few rules but many of us opt for ceremonies that are attached to our religious, faith or spiritual practice. These are tried and tested and can save thinking about elaborate plans at a confusing time.

Did you know…?

• 100% of us die.
• 97% don’t shop around for a funeral – even though the average cost is a crazy £8,000+.
• 90% don’t have a funeral plan – funds set aside to cover the basic costs.
• 70% don’t have a Will – what a headache that can be for family.
• 70% would rather die at home; half of us will die in hospital. An Advance Decision could help.
• 85% browse before they buy… so browse this blog and be an informed consumer!

Enjoy!
