Pre-paid Funeral Plans

A Pre-Paid Funeral Plan is a simple way of choosing the kind of funeral you would like and then
pre-paying for it today. Some of the reasons people buy a funeral plan are to:

Keep Their Money Safe

Your money is protected and will be invested in a Whole of Life insurance policy with a leading UK financial services company, and is protected by the FSCS, meaning it will be there for your family when its most needed.

Help Protect Against
Rising Costs

Fosters Funeral Directors services are guaranteed so your family will never be asked to pay a penny more for our services. The plan also includes a financial contribution towards the essential 3rd party fees for the burial or cremation.

Gain Peace Of Mind

The quiet satisfaction of knowing that both you and your family will receive the best of care from Fosters when the time comes and that we will be able to help and guide them through your funeral wishes.

Changes To Average Funeral Costs In The UK

A recent survey (SunLife (2022) Cost of Dying Report) shows that the average cost of a funeral in the UK is now £4,056 – an increase of 121% since 2004.

 If funeral costs continue to rise at the same rate we have seen over the past decade the average funeral will cost over £5,000, in five years’ time.*
