We recommend SafeHands funeral plans.
We have visited the offices of SafeHands for agent training on serval occasions and we have been very impressed with what we saw.

We listened as the team took calls from the relations of plan members and I was moved at how professional a synthetically each call was dealt with. I was a pleasure to listen to how effectively a plan was invoked, how the care home was contacted to get the deceased person move to teh funeral director quickly and efficiently. How emotional support was provided every step of the way and how instruction were given on what had to be done by the family member.

I can give my personal assurance that you are in good hands with SafeHands as I have witnessed how they go about delivering their services.

SafeHand funeral plans offer several price levels of funeral plans to provide for your personal preferences or your family situation.

You can also pay in instalments. Once you have paid the plan, the funeral package will be delivered without any additional cost.* Extra services can be requested, and changes can be made at the time within reason.

Remember too that when inflation is taken into account, a funeral plan is probably one of the best investments you can make.

These plans are safer than insurance-based funeral plans.
Insurance-based funeral plans can be risky as these may not payout due to uncontrollable circumstances such as a few missed payments that can happen due to illness or because of minor policy discrepancies.

An Insurance-based funeral plan means that you pay and continue to pay until the policy claim is made.
Over say 40 years – Which is the expectation in my case – On average males in my family live to 94.

I could pay my e.g £5000 for my funeral plan over the next 3 years at about £140 per
month.

That will pay for my funeral any time between 2025 and 2045.

If I left it to my family to arrange and pay for my funeral in 2045 based on average inflationary rates they will be paying around £24,000 based on recent increases.

Typically insurance-based funeral plans required your spouse to pay for your funeral from existing funds or to make payment arrangements with the funeral director then claim the cost back after the funeral.
All of which is unnecessary extra trouble for your family.
Our funeral plans offer the best value for money and the greatest benefit is that you and your spouse will have all the professional help they need to plan and arrange the funeral as quickly and efficiently as possible.
You can also buy a double plan which means that the plan can be used by either spouse (on the first death) making life much easier for both of you.

They do not have to spend time on the phone, calling various funeral homes and negotiating prices when time and effort would be better spent with the family.

You can choose to have a Burial Funeral or a Cremation Funeral and even specify your favourite songs or hymns and dress codes for your guests and other requirements and wishes for your funeral.

The funeral director will provide professional help and guidance for your family; you will also mutually agree on a date and time for the funeral.

Safe Hands funeral plans provide several levels of funeral plans at very competitive prices.
When you buy your funeral plan package, you can choose the type of service and support you require.
