For those considering arrangements for life's latter stages, and what will happen afterwards, getting a prepaid funeral plan sorted in the New Forest could prove very beneficial. A big advantage available to you if doing so is to document your precise wishes for your ceremony, ensuring it unfolds just as you want it to, with all costs settled beforehand. This approach shields your family from unforeseen expenses and the burden of making decisions that might be beyond their comfort zone. The money you pay is safeguarded in an independently managed trust, securing today's prices for future use. Whether you prefer to pay in full or through instalments is entirely up to you. The main idea lies in managing your legacy, guaranteeing your wishes are met, therefore providing peace of mind and allowing you to cherish life.
Understanding that funerals can pose a significant financial burden, it's reassuring to know that an Aura funeral in the New Forest could cost significantly less than the UK's average funeral expense of £4,141, as highlighted in the 2024 SunLife Cost of Dying Report. Starting at £1,695, our funeral plans are designed to accommodate various preferences, with prices likely to vary depending on what you've got in mind. These plans are all-inclusive, covering costs like the removal of medical devices before cremation and your transportation into our care, once you're gone, without any additional fees. We welcome your enquiries on this matter, whether you wish to call us or request a quote through our website.
One aspect we take great pride in is the adaptability of our plans, aimed at maximising your convenience. In the New Forest, should you choose to cancel your plan following a payment, rest assured, that this can be accomplished without incurring any fees or complications. If adjustments to your service are necessary, such as accommodating guests after initially planning for an unattended ceremony, our team is on standby to facilitate these changes promptly. Additional charges will only be incurred if you opt for an enhancement. We're always here to address any queries you may have regarding modifications or cancellations of your plan; a simple call is all it takes.
For those in the New Forest seeking an alternative to the heavier formalities of a traditional funeral, our plans provide a simpler choice, removing the need for things like hearses and pallbearers. If this streamlined approach resonates with you, it could be the right fit. The procedure is straightforward: when you purchase a plan, you appoint someone who can oversee proceedings after you're gone. We provide them with a detailed leaflet explaining the next steps, ensuring they are fully prepared. When the time comes, they will notify us it's time to activate your plan, and we will collaborate to organise the ceremony. If there are no attendees at your funeral, our focus will be on aiding them with the essential legal formalities; if not, we will also assist in coordinating the funeral arrangements.
Ultimately, the decision of what suits you best rests with you alone. We guarantee to deliver a service that is caring, attentive, and trustworthy, ensuring your ceremony is one to be proud of. Independent experts, including Fairer Finance, have awarded us with the distinction of being the only provider to have two 5-star rated funeral plan options. Our customers also hold us in high esteem, making us the sole cremation-services provider in the UK to achieve a 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot.
