Funeral Plans

If you have ever planned ahead for something important to you, like a family wedding or setting up your first home, you know just how much sense it makes to take a little time today to think about the future. And as there are no guarantees in this world, it's only natural to plan ahead in other ways too - proper healthcare, insurance for our belongings and provision for retirement are just some of the ways we can help to protect and care for the people and things that matter to us.

That's why more and more people are choosing a funeral plan to take care of life's final bill - a Haven Personal Funeral Plan.

Here's why it's worth taking a closer look:-

In recent years, for example, funeral costs have risen faster than inflation. By pre-paying funeral costs today, you eliminate this ever-increasing bill and simply save and save again against the rising costs.

On past evidence, even a high interest building society account would not provide the return necessary to meet these recent increases. Haven offers much better value.

When you take out a Haven Personal Funeral Plan, your payment goes into the Haven Trust on your behalf until your funeral plan is carried out. So you can be sure your money is secure - and always will be.

Suffering the loss of a family member or friend is something that words cannot describe - yet , as you know, it is precisely at this time that someone has to decide who will pay for the funeral and what the funeral arrangements are to be.

That's where a Haven Personal Funeral Plan can make all the difference.

The three Haven Personal Funeral Plans include the cost of cremation

Both the cost and availability of burial varies throughout the country, so where this is preferred, Haven enables you to select burial at the price current in your area and incorporate it in the final price of your chosen plan.This ensures that all your funeral costs are complete and guarantees that no extra payment will be needed.

The Bespoke Option

Using the Bespoke option you may tailor make your funeral arrangements to suit yourself for either burial or cremation. The costs involved will of course vary depending on the level of service you require and will be based on your Funeral Directors branch price list plus the standard arrangement fee of £95.00, (see your Funeral Director for details) or call the Haven 24 hour helpline.
