Funeral plan

We have teamed up with The Co-operative Funeralcare, the Co-operative Group's funeral service, to offer you the Funeral Plan.

The Funeral Plan is a simple, straightforward way of continuing to look after your family and make sure your wishes are carried out when you're gone.

Why choose a Funeral Plan with The Co-operative Funeralcare?

  • For peace of mind: Plan ahead so you can help to relieve loved ones of the future worry, uncertainty and expense
  • organise every detail: Choose the plan that suits your personal preferences, and if you have any specific arrangements in mind you can be sure that your personal wishes will be recorded and passed on at the time of need
  • take care of your family: Take away much of the financial and emotional burdens of arranging matters at a difficult time
  • spread the cost: Pay for your plan in one single payment or spread the cost with monthly instalments for up to 5 years**
  • we've got a history of caring: With over 1,100 funeral homes across the UK , the Co-operative Group is proud to have served communities across the country for over 100 years

What’s more, arranging your Funeral Plan couldn’t be simpler – there are no medical examinations and no maximum age limits. Contact a Co-operative Financial Adviser to start a Funeral Plan.

There are 3 plans to choose from, each designed to suit your personal preferences. The table below details each of these packages.
