What people Ask
Common Questions
Yes, we find that many of our customers choose to do this.
Yes, you can make changes to your plan after you have taken it out. Just let us
know what you wish to change. There may be an additional cost if you add new
features and services to your plan.
The plan is guaranteed to cover the funeral director's costs listed in the plan details as long as your requirements don't change and we carry out your funeral.
The plan can also include an allowance towards third party costs such as the fees for cremation or burial, medical fees and payment to a minister or officiant. These costs are outside of our control. If these costs, as listed in the plan details, are not covered by the plan value at the time of need, there will be a balance to pay. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for more information.
Yes, you are able to pay over 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months. Please note there is
an additional cost for paying by instalments over 24, 36, 48 and 60 months.
The additional cost is held in the pre-payment plan and used for the funeral
when the time comes.
If you choose to pay by monthly instalments and you wish to stop paying for any reason, you can either cancel the plan and receive a refund of the money you have paid excluding the management fee, or you can leave what you have paid in the plan to be used as a contribution to your funeral when the time comes.
And, if your plan is needed before you have completed your instalments, the payments you have made will be used as a contribution to your funeral and
your wishes will be clearly documented, giving your family peace of mind.
The plan does not cover the cost of a funeral abroad, or the cost of repatriating the deceased. It is therefore important that your travel insurance policy covers this situation.
