Funeral Plans in Gloucester

Buying a prepaid funeral plan is a great way of setting your affairs in order in advance for the end of your life. It allows you to arrange the funeral that you want, and to make sure that everything is paid for ahead of time. Our direct cremation plans provide a simple ceremony, without most of the formalities of traditional funerals, such as a hearse or pallbearers. They are normally unattended, so if you'd prefer not to invite anyone, or wouldn't have any guests for whatever reason, this could be a good option for you, as it would allow you to resolve everything yourself.

We want you to know that we understand the challenge many face in planning for the end of life, especially the financial implications, and we're here to ease that burden. With our funeral plans beginning at £1,695, those living in Gloucester or anywhere else in Britain can rest assured knowing they're accessing services at well under half the UK's average funeral cost, based on the £4,141 figure found in SunLife's 2024 Cost of Dying Report. Every funeral is different, of course, which means costs can vary, but we're here to help tailor to your wishes. Contacting us for a conversation or a quote via our website is a step we would recommend, and we look forward to assisting you.

Complete flexibility is one of the hallmarks of our plans, and we always aim to make everything as straightforward as possible for you. In Gloucester, if you change your mind after your initial payment and decide to cancel, you will face no penalties or delay. Any changes you want to apply to your plan can be easily sorted out for you, with extra charges applying solely if you choose to upgrade the type of service. Our team is on standby for you should you have any questions for us about this.

For those uncomfortable with the formalities of a traditional funeral, our plans in Gloucester offer a straightforward alternative, as they don't include things like hearses and pallbearers. If you find yourself looking for an alternative that feels better for you, then this kind of plan might be an option. The process is also simple: When you buy a plan, you'll select someone to take charge after you're no longer here. They receive a leaflet from us detailing what to do next, ensuring that they're well prepared and not left in the dark without knowing what to do. Upon your passing, they'll contact us to set your plan in motion and we will work with them to organise the ceremony. Should your funeral not have any attendees, we'll focus on helping with the necessary legal work, otherwise, we'll work together with them on the funeral arrangements alongside that.
