Funeral Pre-Payment Plans

Thinking of the Future?

Some people wish to make their funeral arrangements in advance, easing the burden on those they leave behind. For this reason we are providing a pre-paid Thornalley Funeral Plan, payable in monthly instalments or in a single sum.

Making such arrangements may relieve both financial and emotional
burdens for others in the future.

Questions which are often asked about our funeral plans:-

What happens if the cost of funerals increases?

The cost of a funeral usually increases each year, but once you have purchased a prepayment plan the funeral specified will be provided for you when it is needed.

How do I know my money will be safe?

All payments are made directly into Funeral Planning Trust, with HSBC Trust Company (UK) Limited as Custodian Trustee. The accounts of Funeral Planning Trust are monitored annually by independent actuaries and checked by independent auditors. The payment for the funeral can only be withdrawn from Funeral Planning Trust when the service has been provided or if the plan is cancelled.

Can I buy a plan for somebody else?

Yes, please mention this on your application - we will need the name, address and year of birth of the person to be covered, but we will send all correspondence to you.

Can I pay by instalments?

If you are not in the position to pay the full amount, you can make payments in advance towards a plan. However, if you die before completing all of the instalments, the funeral will only be
part-paid.

Are there age or health restrictions?

No - you can purchase a plan at any age and in any state of health, but please see the note on instalments above.

What happens if I move home?

If you move away from the local area we can transfer your plan to another qualified funeral director. Funeral costs do vary from one area to another, and you will be advised of any change in cost at that stage.

What happens if I change my mind later?

If you change your mind in the first month of receiving your plan documents, you can return them for a full refund - with no questions asked. If you cancel your plan at a later date, your refund will be subject to an administration charge.
