It makes perfect financial sense to pre-pay for your funeral but most of us just don't want to think about our own deaths. However, in recent years, funeral prices have increased in excess of inflation, mainly as a result of increased disbursement charges such as burial and cremation fees.
Tovey Bros, along with over 2000 similar independent family run funeral homes, offer Golden Charter Funeral Plans. We recommend Golden Charter, as we believe that they are the best funeral plans available. All monies are paid into the Golden Charter Trust, which is controlled in accordance with financial services regulations.
In just seven years, the average cost of a funeral has increased by an average of 61% in the UK to stand currently at around £2,000. If we conservatively look at a 50% increase in costs every 10 years then, in 30 years, the same funeral is going to come in at just under £7,000. People are very keen to minimise their inheritance tax liabilities to ensure as much of their estate as possible goes to their families but here is one way of reducing the burden on loved ones left behind of which people are not taking advantage.
