If getting things sorted for the final aspects of your life, including posthumous arrangements, is on your mind, opting for a prepaid funeral plan in Somerset might serve you well. Its primary purpose is to let you record your personal wishes for your funeral ceremony, guaranteeing it aligns with your vision, and that is already paid for. Planning things in advance like this can protect your family from sudden financial strains or the discomfort of making decisions on your behalf without your guidance. The money for your plan is invested in a separate, safeguarded trust, effectively freezing today's prices for future use, even if your funeral doesn't occur for many years. Payment options are flexible, allowing for a lump sum or instalment plan, depending on what suits you best. The main advantage of doing things this way is the autonomy it grants you over the end of your life, ensuring your wishes are fulfilled.
Funerals, especially during financial hardships, can sometimes be expensive. We hope that it's comforting to note that an Aura funeral in Somerset might cost less than half the national average of £4,141, as per the 2024 SunLife Cost of Dying Report. Our funeral plans begin at £1,695, though the final cost can vary based on your specific funeral preferences. Our offerings are all-inclusive, with no hidden fees for essential services such as the removal of medical devices before the cremation or your transportation into our care, from anywhere in Britain, once you're gone. For any questions or to request a quote, please contact us or use our website directly.
We pride ourselves on the flexibility our plans offer, ensuring we cater to your needs with utmost convenience. In Somerset, cancelling your plan after payment is hassle-free and incurs no extra fees. If there's a need to modify your service, such as adding guests to an originally unattended ceremony, our team is prepared to make those adjustments swiftly. Only upgrades will attract additional fees. For any inquiries about changing or cancelling your plan, we're just a phone call away.
In Somerset, for those who prefer to steer clear of traditional funeral formalities, our plans offer a direct and uncomplicated alternative, excluding traditional elements like hearses and floral tributes. If such a plan seems more suitable for your needs, it might be worth considering. The setup process is easy: when you buy a plan, you select a responsible person who can step in and handle things when you pass away. This person receives a leaflet with comprehensive guidance on what to do next, ensuring they are well-prepared. When the time comes, they’ll get in touch with us to get your plan underway, and we’ll work with them to manage the ceremony. If your funeral is to be unattended, we’ll focus on the legal requirements; otherwise, we’ll assist in all aspects of the funeral planning.
In the end, the best decision for your funeral needs is yours to make. We assure you of a service that is both caring and trustworthy, aimed at providing a ceremony you can take pride in. We are the only Direct Cremation plan provider to receive two 5-star ratings from Fairer Finance for our funeral plan options, and our customer satisfaction is equally high, with a 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot, the highest among UK cremation services providers. If you need to discuss funeral planning in Somerset or any other location, please don’t hesitate to call us.
