Pre-Plan

A Funeral Trust Plan allows you to set money aside, in trust, for your final farewell or for that of a loved one.

Prepaying towards a funeral means when the time comes loved ones can gather together, support one another, and remember and celebrate a life without the responsibility of making difficult choices in very emotional circumstances. You are welcome to come and see us or visit the links below to do this online.
