If you're starting to think about ways you can organise the end of your life, and what follows after, then you may want to consider the option of a funeral plan. A plan basically allows you to tie up loose ends by making sure there's a record of your wishes for your funeral. Everything is paid for in advance at today's prices, and, with an Aura plan, your money is set aside in an independently managed, secure trust, meaning it is ready for activation when the time comes. Not only does this mean that you can relax knowing your money is safe and your wishes are known, but those you leave behind will be able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you've already paid for everything and stated what you'd like, meaning the financial and logistical is well and truly off their shoulders at a difficult time. Payment options include a single payment or instalments, providing flexibility to suit your needs. The overarching benefit is taking control of your legacy, ensuring peace of mind and the ability to concentrate on enjoying your life without future worries.
While all funerals are expensive, there are ways of keeping the cost down without compromising on quality or dignity. We hope it reassures you to know that, wherever you are in Britain, our funeral services start at £1,695, which is much less than the average UK funeral cost of £4,141 as highlighted in the SunLife 2024 Cost of Dying Report. It should always be borne in mind that the kind of ceremony you intend to have can change the price, so, for example, a ceremony without costs will be cheaper than one which includes them. If you have any questions whatsoever about our prices or funeral plans, we'd be very pleased to hear from you. We're waiting for your call.
The flexibility of our funeral plans is something we take great pride in, as it significantly eases the process for you. In Dumfries, you can cancel your plan after making a payment without any fees or hassle; you'll receive a full refund. Should you need to make any amendments to your service, such as adding guests to an initially unattended ceremony, we ensure these changes are made promptly, with additional costs only for upgrades. For any questions about modifying or cancelling your plan, our team is just a call away.
In Dumfries, our direct cremation plans are available for those who prefer not to have traditional funeral elements like floral tributes and hearses. By choosing one of these plans, you appoint a trusted individual (likely a close family member or a friend) to manage the procedures after you've passed. After you've bought your plan, we supply them with a detailed leaflet which will help them to navigate the next steps, ensuring they're ready and confident. When it's time, they will notify our lovely team that it's time to activate your prepaid plan. If you choose an unattended funeral, we will aid them primarily with legal documentation. If there are guests, we will also help in planning the details of the ceremony.
Our commitment to providing a caring and reliable service has earned us recognition from independent experts like Fairer Finance, who have rated two of our funeral plan options 'five stars'. Our customers have also left us some lovely, heartfelt reviews, making us the only cremation services provider with a 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot. We have worked hard to earn a good, trustworthy reputation from our customers. We genuinely care about each and every family we help, so whether you're in Dumfries or anywhere else in Britain, why not give us a call and see for yourself how we can help you to put a plan in place?
