Funeral Plans in Newbury

If you're starting to think about how to arrange the end of your life, and what follows, sorting a prepaid funeral plan in Newbury may suit your needs. The main strength of this plan is that it helps you to establish your wishes for your funeral service, ensuring it goes ahead exactly as you envision and settling financial matters beforehand. Such plans spare your loved ones from unexpected financial strains and the difficulty of making decisions that may cause them to worry about doing you justice. When you purchase a plan, your contributions are saved in a protected, independently managed trust that fixes the cost at today's prices, protecting against possible future increases. You have the flexibility to pay all at once or through instalments, whichever is more convenient for you. The key benefit is the control you gain over your legacy, ensuring your wishes are met, providing you peace of mind and the opportunity to enjoy the rest of your life without concern over unfinished business.

Reflecting on the arrangements for the end of our lives is often tough for various reasons, with the financial cost being a big one. In Newbury, we're here to lighten that load by offering funeral services starting at £1,695, well below the national average cost of £4,141 as suggested by the SunLife 2024 Cost of Dying Report. The price of a funeral can differ according to individual wishes, but we're ready to discuss your particular needs or give you a quote whenever you need. Whenever you're ready, we're keen to talk to you and develop a plan that leaves you content.

Our commitment in Newbury is to provide you with absolute control over your money and your funeral plan. This means you can cancel your plan at any moment without any financial penalty, and we will refund every penny you've paid. You can also adjust your plan as needed, and we will not charge extra unless you opt to expand it. If you initially planned for an unattended funeral but later decide you want guests, making that change is straightforward. Simply give us a call, and we will take care of everything else.

If you're in Newbury and looking for something different from traditional funeral practices, our direct cremation plans might fit your needs. We typically avoid using things like hearses and a funeral procession, which is ideal if you're uncomfortable with these elements. The process is designed for simplicity: you pick a relative or friend to handle affairs after you're gone. We provide them with a guide which clarifies the next steps, ensuring they're well-prepared. They'll inform us when it's time to implement your prearranged and prepaid plan. Our role involves primarily assisting with legal paperwork if the funeral is unattended. If there are guests, we also help organise the specifics of the ceremony.
